Freight and Cargo

Freight and cargo refer to goods and commodities that are transported from one location to another, typically by various modes of transportation such as trucks, ships, airplanes, and trains. “Freight” usually pertains to larger quantities of goods that are transported for commercial purposes, often involving a shipping or freight company, while “cargo” can refer to any type of goods being carried, regardless of size or mode of transport. Both terms encompass a wide range of items, including raw materials, finished products, and machinery. The management and logistics of freight and cargo involve planning, scheduling, and coordinating the movement of these goods to ensure timely delivery and efficient supply chain operations.
