Detailed Information

Freight refers to goods transported in bulk quantities, typically by truck, ship, train, or aircraft. Freight shipping is used for large, heavy, or bulk shipments that exceed the size and weight limits of standard courier services. Freight services are categorized into LTL (Less Than Truckload) for smaller freight shipments and FTL (Full Truckload) for large shipments that fill an entire truck. Freight charges are calculated based on weight, volume, distance, and mode of transport.
