Abstract

At the present stage of logistics infrastructure development, many different barriers that have a negative impact on the entire process of cargo transportation appear. Since each stage of cargo delivery is part of a single logistics chain of transportation, interruptions at any stage entail nonfulfillment of contractual obligations by the transport company. In the work, the main focus is on the study of the causes of obstacles to the transportation of cargo. As a rule, the reasons under consideration have a technological or legal nature of occurrence. For technological reasons, we understand the negative processes associated with the organization of transportation, namely: the construction of economically unprofitable cargo delivery routes; the wrong choice of transport, as well as the incorrect construction of the logistics chain in general. The legal reasons for the transportation of cargo are related to the commission of various kinds of offenses by people involved in the process of cargo delivery, which entail negative consequences for transport companies. In turn, law-enforcement agencies are obliged to respond to certain offenses committed at all stages of cargo transportation. Therefore, legal barriers associated with the toughening of the procedure for checking goods appear, which affects the timing of their delivery.
