What does logistics mean to you? Just take a moment to think about it. You are probably already thinking that this has a very broad description involving a combination of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, packaging etc. Here is a definition I found of logistics, that I think fits the description: “Logistics is the management of the flow of resources, not only goods, between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet the requirements of customers or corporations.”
While performing your daily job in logistics, you most likely hear a lot about certain requirements for safety, maybe you hear about some of the limitations of weight and dimensions of the cargo you are moving, or even the criteria that needs to be met in order to handle the transportation or shipping. Every country has a different approach to the criteria of transportation. Since there is no global standardization yet, it is very common that some of the ways of handling transportation and shipping may be perfectly normal in some parts of the world but for others it would be rather unusual.
Being a part of the logistics world, I hear many stories and see pictures that from time to time actually surprise me or make me laugh. But most of the times, it makes me realize that there are no limits in the logistics world, which is one of the reasons why I love my job!
Today I would like to share a very interesting and unusual face of transportation, the handling and packing side of logistics. You may now see why I believe that logistics has no limitations.

Nice pics !
Interesting story and some amazing pics..!!
Amazing pictures, but it is innovative logistics. Good Luck.
Great Article! It teaches us that we always need to think outside of the box to accomplish streamlined and efficient logistics given the resources we have available. There is always more than one way to look at a problem. I have participated in “think groups” in trying to help people in South America get their goods to a nearby village which can only be traversed by bicycle.
Logistics is my job, and i like it. you pic is very interesting. haha..

I am totally agree with you, logistics has no limitis!! The most important thing in this business, is to deliver merchandise in time, no matter how.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
Yes, it it true that every country has its own way of transporting things and logistics depending upon their economic status which can be clearly visualized from the above pictures.
Good example of unsafe service, we call this kalukalu logistics, it means gambling with business, the risk is expensive than the profit. please lets encourage safety practice by making sure government / banks educate and support investment in Logistics services..
Dear More Than Shipping
very good question, and I like it. i think ‘logistics’ is part of SCM that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective inbound, and outbound logistics-reverse logistics process.
Also, collaboration with sales, marketing, in order to exceed customers’/clients expectation in B2B,M2M, B2C
Sincerely
logistics is simply time related possitioning of goods in right quality and quantity. so which ever mode of transportation use have no problem as long as it doesnt compromise quality and efficiency
