There are 4 main methods of cargo transportation. The most common method is via land / road transport, followed by train (intermodal) transportation, and air and ocean service. Most transport methods rely on moving containers via a wide-variety of truck and trailer. You can learn about all the types of freight available for your delivery when using a freight forwarder like LogisticsTransporters.
Generally LTL (less than truckload) freight service is the most common method. LTL freight shipping allows you combine your freight with other companies into one truckload, instead of having to pay for the price of using the entire truckload. The LTL freight transport method is the most cost-efficient, reliable and timely service since you have an identical truck to your LTL shipment.
