What are the three types of freight?
The three main types of freight are:
- Land Freight
- Goods are transported over land by trucks, trains, or other vehicles.
- Ideal for domestic or cross-border shipments within a continent.
- Includes road freight (e.g., trucks) and rail freight (e.g., trains).
- Sea Freight
- Goods are shipped by cargo vessels across oceans.
- Suitable for large, heavy, or bulk shipments (e.g., machinery, raw materials).
- Slower but cost-effective for international trade.
- Air Freight
- Goods are transported via aeroplanes.
- Best for high-value, time-sensitive, or perishable items (e.g., electronics, medical supplies).
- Faster but more expensive compared to other modes.
Each type is chosen based on factors like speed, cost, distance and the nature of the goods being transported.
