What is Freight Shipment?
Freight shipment is the process of transporting goods, cargo, or commodities from one location to another using various modes of transportation, such as trucks, trains, ships, or planes. Unlike regular parcel shipping, freight is typically used for larger, bulkier, or heavier items that require specialized handling and logistics.
Freight shipments involve large quantities or heavy items that cannot be sent through standard postal services. Your overall price depends on the volume and weight of your cargo
Depending on the destination and nature of the goods, freight can be transported by different mode of transportation.
There are various categories of freight, including Full Truckload (FTL), Less Than Truckload (LTL), intermodal (a combination of different transportation modes), and expedited freight for urgent deliveries.
Freight shipments require specific documentation, such as a bill of lading, packing lists, and customs paperwork, to ensure legal and efficient transportation.
Freight shipment involves careful planning and coordination to choose the best route, manage timelines, and ensure that goods are delivered safely and on time.
