Questions & Answers about บริษัท　ขนส่ง　สินค้า　โดย　รถบรรทุก　ค่ะ

Can I use กับ (with) instead of โดย (by) here, since we are moving goods 'with' a truck?
No, you should use โดย for methods of transportation. กับ is used when you accompany someone (like 'I went with John') or use a hand-held tool (like 'eat with a spoon'). For vehicles, systems, or methods of travel, โดย is the correct preposition for 'by means of'.
How do you break down the word for truck, รถบรรทุก?
It is made of two parts: รถ, which means 'vehicle' or 'car', and บรรทุก, which means 'to load' or 'to carry a load'. So it literally translates to a 'load-carrying vehicle'.
I already know the word ส่ง means 'to send'. Why is the word ขนส่ง used here instead?
While ส่ง means to send (like dropping off a letter or a small parcel), ขน means to manually carry, move, or transport a large quantity of heavy things. Together, ขนส่ง specifically refers to commercial transportation, freight, or the logistics of moving bulk goods.
Does โดย always come right before the vehicle in a Thai sentence?
Yes! Just like in English where we say 'by truck' or 'by train', in Thai you place โดย directly before the vehicle or method of transport. You do not need any extra words like 'a' or 'the' between them.
Why does the sentence end with the polite particle ค่ะ if the subject is a company?
The polite particles ค่ะ (for female speakers) and ครับ (for male speakers) always reflect the gender of the speaker, not the subject of the sentence. Even though a company is an inanimate object, the person saying this sentence is female and is speaking politely to the listener.
