Domaine(s)
  • Prix (Commercialisation)
  • Trafic marchandises (Transport par rail)
OBS

Taux pour le transport de porte à porte, établi en tenant compte du fait que le camionneur va chercher les marchandises chez l'expéditeur. La remorque à cette fin, montée sur un wagon plat, est transportée d'une ville à l'autre par rail; rendue à destination, elle est descendue et conduite jusqu'à l'adresse du destinataire. Les expéditions considérables bénéficient ordinairement d'un taux moins élevé par 100 liv. que les plus petits chargements, en raison d'une échelle graduée des taux.
