Geographical remoteness has a profound impact on the cost of goods, especially for rural and remote areas far from major ports, highways, and urban centers. The further a location is from key logistical hubs, the more expensive it becomes to transport goods to that area. This increase in transportation costs is often passed on to consumers, leading to higher prices for basic necessities, construction materials, and other products.

Strikes in the transportation industry can lead to significant disruptions in supply chains, affecting businesses across various sectors and creating ripple effects throughout the economy. Whether they involve trucking, rail, or air transport, these strikes can delay shipments, increase costs, and create logistical challenges for companies dependent on reliable transportation. However, with strategic planning and proactive measures, businesses can minimize the impact of transportation strikes and maintain continuity in their operations.
