Different logistics transportation methods have different transportation structures. Large item logistics transportation refers to a logistics transportation method where the volume, weight, and quantity of goods are relatively large. The main logistics transportation methods that can carry large items include road logistics transportation, waterway logistics transportation, railway logistics transportation, and air logistics transportation. These logistics transportation methods are currently the most commonly used logistics transportation methods.

If using road logistics transportation for large-scale logistics transportation, the general requirements for transporting goods are: those that are relatively close in distance and in small batches.

For transportation by waterway and railway logistics, the general requirements for goods are: large batch, long-distance, and difficult to transport goods. Due to the insufficient volume of goods transported by highway logistics, only railway and waterway logistics can be used for transportation of goods with relatively large volume.

Air logistics transportation, due to its high cost, is generally used for the transportation of emergency supplies.
