3PL Services FAQs
Freight shipping is defined as the transportation of large shipments of goods, either domestically or internationally. Generally, products are loaded onto pallets or into large containers and transported by air, ground, sea, or a combination of these transportation methods.
Almost any product can be shipped by freight. However, it’s essential to check specific carrier rules, domestic regulations, or international laws when preparing to ship your goods via freight. Rules may vary depending on where you ship and what you’re shipping. Also, you may not be able to ship hazardous materials or temperature-sensitive items by freight.
If your shipment exceeds the dimensions of 30x30x30 inches or weighs more than 150 lbs., it can be classified as freight. When a shipment falls under these dimensions, it’s typically considered parcel shipment.
Freight can be moved using different modes of transportation, including by truck, rail, sea, or air. The most typical combinations include rail, trucks, and ships to move freight from one destination to another. Air shipments tend to be more expensive because of the weight of shipping freight.
How much freight shipments cost depends on several factors. When estimating the cost of shipping your freight, consider which mode of transportation is appropriate, the size and weight of the goods you are shipping, the end destination, and whether you have special handling needs for your packages. These factors will all have an impact on the overall cost. At ShipNetwork, we take guessing out of the equation by shopping for the best freight shipping rates for you!
