Dry Freight Transport

Dry freight transport moves loads of non-perishable items. The transportation can be by trucks, rail, air, or water and can include any product that will not perish such as clothing, cars, parts, and appliances to name a few. Nearly every form of business uses dry freight transport services including small businesses. Several small businesses may use carriers who offer dedicated lanes as well as less than load shipments.

All forms of trucks can be used to transport dry freight. If moved by rail or by water an ever increasing number of shippers are using containers. Approximately 90% of all dry freight is moved by using containers. One reason for this, containers can be easily loaded or moved from one form of transportation to another by using huge lifts. Containers have become so popular that many moving companies provide container services. A container or pod is delivered to a family's home giving the family as much time as they need to load the pod that is then picked up and transported by the movers.
