freight shipping
Bulk cargo delivery
Freight shipping is the commercial transportation of goods in bulk, typically by truck, rail, ship, or air.
The term distinguishes large-scale cargo transport from smaller parcel delivery: We used freight shipping for the machinery; regular mail wouldn't handle the weight.
Freight can move domestically or internationally, with costs calculated by weight, volume, and distance.
