Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trucks provide the most flexible schedules and routes compared to other modes of transportation. They can reach almost any location and can offer multiple delivery options such as same-day delivery or next-day delivery. Warehousing may provide storage facilities for the products, but it does not provide transportation. Waterways, pipelines, and railroads have fixed routes and schedules, which may not be flexible enough for Madison's needs.
