Vietnam has a length of more than 1,700 km from North to South, a vital transport route connecting the two largest economic centers of the country: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Every day, thousands of tons of goods are transported between the two regions to serve production, trade and consumption.
Among many current modes of transport such as rail, sea, air, transporting goods from North to South by road (truck) is still the most popular choice thanks to its flexibility, speed and reasonable cost.
1. Flexible – Door-to-door delivery, saving time
One of the biggest advantages of road transport is its high flexibility. Trucks can travel to most provinces and cities, from industrial parks, ports, warehouses to factories or stores.
Unlike rail or sea transport, which are limited to major stations and ports, trucks can deliver door-to-door without additional transit.
This helps:
Save delivery time, especially for urgent goods.
Reduce loading and unloading – transit, limit the risk of damage.
Optimize logistics costs, especially for small businesses or households.
For example, if you need to send goods from a warehouse in Bac Ninh to a store in Binh Tan district (HCMC), the truck can go straight, without stopping at a train station or intermediate port.
2. Faster shipping time than other modes
Compared to rail or sea transport, North-South road transport is significantly faster.
Trucks running the North-South route (Hanoi ↔ Ho Chi Minh City) usually take only 2.5 - 4 days, depending on the type of goods and mode of transport.
Meanwhile, trains take about 4 - 6 days, while sea transport can take 7 - 10 days depending on train schedules and weather.
In addition, if you rent a private car or a direct car (without combining goods), the goods can arrive in just 48 hours - a huge advantage for urgent goods, such as manufacturing components, fresh food or e-commerce orders.
Therefore, road transport is the first choice for those who need speed and initiative.
3. Reasonable cost - Easy to optimize according to needs
One of the reasons why North-South freight transport by road is popular is the flexible and easy-to-control cost.
Depending on the type of goods, weight and distance, you can choose the appropriate form:
Renting a truck to combine goods: save 30-50% of the cost compared to renting a whole trip.
Renting a truck for a whole trip: optimizes time and ensures privacy, suitable for high-value goods.
The average fare for North-South freight transport by truck fluctuates:
Light goods: 3,000 - 5,000 VND/kg
Heavy goods, industrial goods: 1.5 - 3 million VND/ton
Full trip truck 5 - 15 tons: 10 - 25 million VND/trip, depending on the route.
Compared to the cost of sea transport (container packing, crane rental, storage fees...) or air transport (4-6 times higher), road transport is still the most economical option for most businesses.
4. Easy to control and track the journey of goods
Currently, most North-South transport companies are equipped with GPS positioning systems and transport management software (TMS) to help customers track the location of vehicles in real time.
You can know exactly:
Where the vehicle is.
How long is it expected to take to arrive.
Whether the goods have been delivered or not.
Some units also update the delivery status via Zalo, SMS or website, helping you to be completely proactive in arranging warehouses and receiving schedules.
This continuous journey tracking brings absolute transparency and peace of mind to customers - something that rail or sea transport is difficult to do.
5. Transporting a variety of goods
Road transport is the most flexible form of transport as it can transport almost all types of goods, from small to large, from dry to refrigerated goods, from light to oversized goods.
Commonly used types of trucks include:
Closed trucks: for consumer goods, electronics, perishable goods.
Tarp trucks: for agricultural products, furniture, construction materials.
Open-top trucks: for bulky goods, iron and steel, machinery.
Refrigerated trucks: for frozen goods, food, pharmaceuticals.
Long-haul containers: for large volumes of goods or import and export goods.
With this diversity, businesses can customize the type of vehicle, load and route to best suit their needs - something that transport by ship or plane cannot be as flexible as.
6. Proactive in delivery time and plan
When using the North-South freight transport service by road, you can proactively choose the departure time, delivery time and receipt time, instead of having to wait according to the fixed schedule of the ship or plane.
If there is an urgent order or needs to be delivered immediately, the transport unit can arrange a vehicle to run continuously for a few hours, especially companies with large fleets, operating continuously 24/7.
This helps:
Reduce waiting time, avoid disruptions to the supply chain.
Flexibly respond to sudden or seasonal orders.
Increase the ability to maintain continuous operations of the business.
7. Minimize the risk of damage and loss of goods
Another advantage of road transport is that there is less need for transshipment, meaning that the goods will be loaded onto the vehicle at the sending point and delivered directly to the receiving place.
Without having to go through many loading and unloading steps like ships or railways, the risk of collision, loss, and mold is minimized.
In addition, reputable transport companies also provide cargo insurance services, committing to 100% compensation if loss or damage occurs due to transportation errors.
Thanks to that, customers can be absolutely assured when sending goods from North to South, including fragile or high-value goods.
8. Full service support: vehicle + loading and unloading + insurance
