Regular shipments of cut flowers are most likely to be shipped by truck due to their perishable nature and the need for quick delivery to maintain freshness, which aligns with the service desired for such items. Iron ore and grain, being bulk commodities, are more cost-effectively transported by modes other than truck, such as rail or ship, especially for long distances.
