What is Freight Transportation?

Freight transportation is the physical process of transporting goods, commodities and cargo.

A primary component of all supply-chain and logistics systems, freight transport is simply defined by Gov.uk as “carriage of goods between an origin and a destination”.

There are several main transportation methods including:

Road, Rail, Air, Sea, Intermodal & Multimodal

Retail, FMCG, luxury and high-value, automotive, manufacturing and ecommerce industries rely on efficient, on-time freight transportation to ensure production lines don’t stop, goods aren’t delayed and strict deadlines are met.
