One thing common between freight and cartage is that both terms are used in the logistics industry. However, both have completely different meanings. Here is a detailed comparison of freight vs. cartage to help you understand the differences between them:
Freight - The goods or items that are shipped are referred to as "freight." The term refers to commercial transport of goods by any means, including air, land, and sea. Freight is typically used to transport large quantities of goods. It is frequently divided into two categories: freight shipments and air freight.
Cartage - Transportation by land means "cartage" (rail or road). Typically, the movement is within an area or between two nearby towns, and the transportation is limited to short distances. Costs associated with moving goods from one location to another are known as cartage.
Intermodal freight service is an essential part of any shipper's choice plan if they transport full freight truckloads. Intermodal shipping increases capacity, contributes to environmental efforts, and saves transportation costs.
