Trucks may not be able to access certain remote locations or may not be as cost-effective for long distance transportation compared to trains or ships. Additionally, trucks have limitations in terms of capacity and speed, which may not make them the best option for all manufacturers. Therefore, using a combination of transportation modes such as trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes allows manufacturers to optimize their transportation logistics based on cost, speed, and efficiency.
