What are Shipping Companies?

Shipping companies handle the shipment of cargo. Freight shipping companies, also known as freight carriers, own assets like freight trucks, container ships, stakes in rails, etc. Shipping companies manage the physical movement of freight.

FreightCenter assists shippers by helping them find the best carrier for their needs and move their cargo at the best available rate. Our free freight quote tool provides shippers with instant access to freight rates from dozens of top freight carriers.
