Think of ancient Egypt or Rome: statues, obelisks and columns weighing several tons had to be moved, often hundreds of kilometres. Horses, chariots, logs, friction grease and manpower - these were the "logistical tools".
In the Middle Ages, cathedral bells and steeples were carried through villages, often slowly over days. The goal: not to crash, not to get stuck, and to survive the road conditions.
Today, things are much simpler - at least from a technical point of view. Heavy equipment transport trailers, hydraulic lifts, laser route planning, road permits and escort vehicles - these have replaced man and horse.
