Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

In transportation, cargo refers to goods transported by land, water, or air, while freight refers to its conveyance. In economics, freight refers to goods transported at a freight rate for commercial gain. The term cargo is also used in the case of goods in the cold-chain, because the perishable inventory is always in transit towards a final end-use, even when it is held in cold storage or other similar climate-controlled facilities, including warehouses.
