Cargo services are used to organize and track inbound and outbound shipments at airlines, rail or truck terminals, or at ship docks. They take orders from customers and make arrangements for picking up the cargo or freight, delivering them, and loading them onto the platform. 

They keep track of everything and record the number, type, weight, size, destination, and time of delivery, among others.  There are many companies like Pangea Network which provide cargo network services.

Shipping and freight services are associated with many types of companies, institutions, and industries and are often operated in warehouses, and shipping areas, among others. There are several types of shipping and transportation services related to:

Types of sea transportation – including containers, cars, heavy cargo, bulk cargo, such as salt, oil, grains, and tree trunks, among others.

Air Carriage – Known as carriage, this includes goods, containers, and air transportation commonly used by the military.

Freight trains – including steel, wood, and coal containers for bulk and long-haul cargo.

Less Freight or LTL Freight – the first shipping category that caters for business-to-business or B2B shipments. LTL shipments carry loads ranging from 100 pounds to about 15,000 pounds.
