Abstract

Green logistics is very attractive and requests the point of view. Many companies try to be “green,” but on the other hand, they also must be quick, be at the right time in the right place, and do everything at as low a cost. So because of it, they use more road freight transport. Nowadays road freight transport is much expanded as transport companies prefer the possibility to operate just-in-time. Several advantages give road freight transport in the first place. Firstly, the truck can be prepared whenever, no matter the time. Secondly, the flexibility and no more borders with customs control inside the Schengen Area make freight transport quicker. On the other hand, innovative approaches ask for environmental protection, which becomes one of the most essential points of view. If countries support this environmentally friendly transport, this would be reflected in the transport prices, making rail transport more interesting. Using the methodology in the manuscript was divided into three steps. The first step is to identify relevant questions related to the border crossing. The next step is elaborating a list of border problems; the last step is analyzing available data.
