Freight Center

What is a Freight Center?

A freight center is a general term describing where freight shipping occurs. That’s where we get our name! We chose FreightCenter as our name because our company helps arrange freight shipments for customers. While we operate online and do not physically handle freight shipments, we can orchestrate logistics through a number of our partner carriers.

Many different terms may be used about a freight center. Some examples are:

Freight Terminal: Carrier terminals are located throughout The United States. Terminals are warehouses where freight is exchanged on and off trucks to be routed to different lanes.
Port: Airports and ocean ports are not operated privately by carriers. However, carriers work with government agencies to use the air and oceans are lanes for freight transportation.
Service Centers: Brick-and-mortar stores where people ship and pick up mail and packages can sometimes arrange freight shipments on behalf of walk-in customers. UPS Freight and FedEx Freight offer walk-in service for their customers
this way.
