Järeltransport

Järeltransport is an Estonian term that translates to "follow-up transport" or "subsequent transport." It refers to a situation where a vehicle or goods are transported by a second vehicle after the initial journey or phase of transportation has been completed. This typically occurs when the primary mode of transport is no longer directly accessible or practical for the final leg of the journey.

Common scenarios for järeltransport include the transfer of vehicles from a car carrier to a dealership, or the movement of goods from a large shipping vessel at a port to smaller local distribution centers. It can also apply to situations where a vehicle has broken down and needs to be towed to a repair shop. The term emphasizes the secondary nature of the transport, following an initial, often longer-distance, movement.

The need for järeltransport arises from logistical considerations, such as overcoming last-mile delivery challenges, avoiding damage to sensitive cargo during complex maneuvers, or simply reaching destinations not directly accessible by the primary transport method. This process often involves specialized towing services or smaller transport vehicles to ensure efficient and safe delivery to the final destination.
