What is Shipping?

Cargo, also known as freight, originally referred to items being loaded into a ship. However, in modern times, all forms of commodities, whether they be transported by truck, van, train, or intermodal container, are referred to as cargo. Although "cargo" refers to all items in a transport vehicle, it does not include things like personnel bags, items in the storage, equipment, or supplies taken on board to support the transport. The primary purpose of transporting cargo is commercial, for which the carrier issues an air waybill, bill of lading, or other receipt.
