Geography

Middle Mile

The transfer leg between operating points: DC to store, hub to hub, terminal to terminal. Bigger vehicles, fewer stops, tighter time windows.

Where this fits

Logistics gets named by the geography of the move. First Meter covers the pickup leg, Middle Mile covers transfers between operating points, Last Mile covers the route to the recipient, Last Yard covers the final handoff. Each band has its own constraints, cost shape, and capacity profile.
