Types of cargo services for merchandise
Freight services vary by speed of transportation, cargo movement capacity, and average price per pound. When deciding which is the best option to transport your cargo, you must think about the relation between time and money.
Is the load greater than 100 pounds? Is the load greater than 800 pounds? Do I need it urgently or can it wait? These are some of the questions you can ask yourself to understand what type of cargo service is best for you: Air or sea cargo.
