Freight shipping is the transportation of commodities, often in large quantities, from one location to another. It includes types such as sea freight, air freight, and land freight. For cost-effective, bulky, and low-priority shipments, sea freight is the most common. Ships are capable of transporting a wide variety of goods including consumer products and industrial machinery over long distances. Air freight is used for high-value and time-sensitive products like electronics or medical supplies because of the speed in which they are shipped. Land freight (by road and rail) caters to local and regional markets for the first and last mile to an international shipment. As from with every thing in life, freight shipping requires a good plan with carefully thought out controls like selecting a mode, carrier, and all forms that need to be filled.
