In logistics, it is important not just to deliver goods, but to find optimal solutions amid changing market conditions. Road transportation remains in demand, but rising tariffs, driver shortages, and congested borders highlight the need for alternatives.  

Rail transportation with AsstrA offers a balanced solution in terms of cost, timing, and delivery predictability.

Benefits of railroad logistics:  

• Financial stability – Rail fares are less susceptible to sudden spikes, and efficient railcar utilization helps reduce costs.
• Predictable timing – Scheduled rail traffic minimizes the impact of road traffic jams, adverse weather conditions, and other restrictions.
• Reduced risks – Rail is not affected by driver shortages or seasonal fluctuations.
• Efficiency on long routes– especially beneficial between Europe and the CIS, where road transport often faces long border queues.
• Flexible solutions-containerized shipping and multimodal transport schemes can be tailored to the cargo’s specifics.

AsstrA experts don’t just organize transportation — they select optimal solutions based on the cargo’s characteristics, the client’s budget, and logistical goals.

“Rail transportation allows businesses to remain flexible, reduce the impact of market fluctuations, and ensure uninterrupted deliveries. We analyze routes, assess infrastructure congestion, and offer optimal delivery schemes, guaranteeing reliability and control at all stages,” says Dmitry Gerber, Head of the Rail Freight Division.

The choice between FTL and rail depends on your business objectives. AsstrA is ready to offer the most effective solution, ensuring reliability and control at every stage.
