Rules
Free on board (FOB)–the exporter delivers the goods at the specified location (and on board the vessel). Costs paid by the exporter include load, lash, secure and stow the cargo, including securing cargo not to move in the ships hold, protecting the cargo from contact with the double bottom to prevent slipping, and protection against damage from condensation. Nature can have an impact on these trades, so it's a tricky business.
The demand for free shipping, especially for e-commerce goods, seems to be placing greater and greater stress on last-mile delivery networks. The one thing people don't take into consideration is the fact that humans are driving these trucks.
The companies are always forcing them to stay on the road for too many hours, which has resulted in a few tragedies, especially Walmart, the company that neglected its driver to the point where he had to drive for over 24 hours. I'm sure that he could stop if he made that decision, but he was probably scared to lose the job.
