It\u2019s not common enough outside of businesses for everyone to know what it is. <\/span><b>So what is it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, <\/span><b>freight is (usually) heavy cargo transported by air, sea, or ground. Goods that are too large or heavy to be shipped by a parcel service such as the USPS are considered freight<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The technical limitations of what makes a parcel are its weight and size. <\/span><b>Anything heavier than 150 lbs is considered freight<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Shipments weighing less than that could be considered either and what sets them apart is usually their size. As a rule of thumb, you can <\/span><b>consider shipments larger than 30\u201d x 30\u201d x 30\u201d freight<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, <\/span><b>our system is smart enough to let you know which shipping mode you should use<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> based on the dimensions and weight of your cargo. However, if for whatever reason you need to know where your shipment falls without getting a quote, you can <\/span><b>feel free to ask our staff of shipping experts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shipping modes<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air freight shipping<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Air-freight.jpg\" alt=\"Cargo about to be loaded onto a plain via liftgate\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Air-freight.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Air-freight-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Air-freight-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you see, the names of these shipping modes are pretty self-explanatory. <\/span><b>Air freight shipping simply means that your cargo would move by air<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (airplane). This is generally the most expensive, but the fastest way of moving your cargo. It is also <\/span><b>the most intensive as far as gas emissions <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are concerned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ocean freight shipping<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Cargo-ship.jpg\" alt=\"A loaded container ship at ocean\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Cargo-ship.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Cargo-ship-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Cargo-ship-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ocean freight is a necessity for cross-oceanic shipping. It is a slower and cheaper way to ship freight than doing so by airplane. <\/span><b>When shipping by ocean, you will be using a ship<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as submarines are not optimal for shipping everyday cargo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you look up the term \u201cfreight\u201d on Google images, you\u2019re likely to see shipping containers and shipping ports. That\u2019s because <\/span><b>ocean freight shipping is the most commonly used form of shipping for international shipments<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As you can guess, the most common way to ship cargo by ship is via containers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is important because containers are not the most represented packaging type when it comes to ground shipping, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ground freight shipping<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7850\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Zooming-truck.jpg\" alt=\"A truck zooming by road\" width=\"638\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Zooming-truck.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Zooming-truck-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Zooming-truck-768x554.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ground freight shipping is performed by <\/span><b>road, rail, or a combination of the two <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(intermodal). It is the most common form of transportation for domestic shipments or on-land shipments between countries (such as the USA and Canada, for example).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As opposed to containers with oceanic shipping, <\/span><b>the most common packaging type for ground shipping is palletization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

For example, <\/span><b>for ground freight that would be rail and road<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for different parts of the route. For international freight shipping, that might be by <\/span><b>air and road, or by ship and road<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These combinations come to fruition when a carrier is unable to move your cargo by only one mode of transportation. The huge container-filled ship would be impractical to move by land, if we may say so ourselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why <\/span><b>a truck is most likely to transport your goods from the port to the final destination<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On land, these combinations happen when a carrier simply doesn\u2019t have full coverage by one mode, or when it\u2019s more efficient (either financially or time-wise) to transport it partially by train and partially by truck.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, <\/span><b>freight shipping is just shipping big and\/or heavy things<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
