Vehicle transport is the same.

It’s just a larger package in the mail
so to speak.

Folks don’t realize that logistics dictate a full trailer goes down the road containing cargo that gets closer to the destination.

It makes sense from a shipping standpoint

Henry Ford had no credibility ( literally ) when he set out on his third business enterprise. That - is a fact - that cannot be disputed.
