freight service
Goods delivery business
Freight service is the business of transporting goods, typically by truck, rail, ship, or air.
The term distinguishes cargo transport from passenger service: The railroad expanded its freight service to include overnight delivery.
Freight services range from local hauling to international shipping, with carriers specializing in different cargo types—bulk, containerized, refrigerated, or hazardous materials.
