What does Freight mean?

Freight refers to items or cargo conveyed by a commercial carrier such as a truck, train, ship, or airline. It can encompass a wide range of objects, from raw materials and manufactured goods to consumer goods and food. The term "freight" is frequently used to refer to the cost of shipping these products, as well as the process of coordinating and managing the movement of the commodities from one site to another. Freight logistics firms are in charge of moving goods from one location to another, as well as arranging for freight transportation, customs clearance, storage, and other logistics-related services.
