What Costs are Included in Freight?

Freight costs typically encompass a range of fees associated with the transportation of goods. These include but are not limited to, transportation charges (based on mode of transport, distance, and weight/volume of the cargo), fuel surcharges, and any applicable tariffs or duties. Additionally, there may be handling fees, insurance costs, storage charges if warehousing is required, and accessorial charges for additional services like residential delivery, inside delivery, or liftgate services. These costs can vary depending on the specific requirements of the shipment, the origin and destination of the goods, and the current market conditions.
