What does the logistics company mean by "one less car"?

There are three ways to transport goods by rail: complete vehicle, less-than-carload and container. According to the quantity, nature, packaging, volume, shape and delivery conditions of the consigned goods.

1. Complete vehicle: Generally speaking, a batch of goods needs to be transported by one or more trucks with a weight or volume exceeding 30 tons, or even if one truck cannot be filled, it must be transported by complete vehicle due to the nature, shape or transportation conditions of the goods.

2. Less-than-truckload goods: According to its nature, shape and transportation conditions, it is not necessary to use a single truck for transportation. When it can be assembled with other batches of goods and transported by truck, it will be transported by LTL. The minimum volume of a single piece of LTL transportation shall not be less than 0.02 cubic meters (except for a single piece weighing more than 10 kg), and each batch shall not exceed 300 pieces.

3. Container: In order to save packaging materials, reduce commodity costs, simplify transportation procedures, improve the efficiency of loading and unloading operations, and speed up the turnover of goods and vehicles, container transportation can be handled between railway container transportation business offices or container handling stations, mainly for valuable, fragile and wet goods.
