magazines, it all needs to go somewhere. Freight is not just defined as goods that are delivered on a semi. It also entails air freight, container freight, rail, and more. Freight is manufactured either in the USA or overseas. It is then shipped in to the USA (or is already here) and needs to be delivered. At the ports or loading dock of a factory, it is loaded on to a piece of equipment. This again could be a semi, rail car, or boat. All of this freight is handled through 2 or more parties. When this load of freight is manufactured it is destined for a certain customer. This could be a line of clothes heading to a retailer or a load of refrigerated food headed for a cold storage warehouse. Either way, there is always a shipper and a receiver or consignee. Now, sometimes, the freight will go through a third party being a freight forwarder or freight broker.
