[3/24, 11:18 AM] mdmawere1: Can you share?
[3/24, 11:24 AM] Walter Mutete: Transportation is more to do with movement of goods and services from a point of creation or manufacture to a point of consumption or use. Logistics, on the other hand involves the interconnectedness of variables which determine how, when, why, what in the movement of goods and services from point of creation to consumption. Logistics is a broader discipline than transport. Logistics epitomises time
