General Questions Answer for Freight Forwarders and Freight Brokers
B2B freight shipping refers to the transportation of large quantities of goods between businesses (manufacturers, distributors, retailers) using trucks, rail, air, or sea carriers. It differs from parcel shipping in scale, pricing, and logistics complexity.
Rates are determined by dimensional weight or actual weight (whichever is greater), distance, service type (e.g., LTL vs FCL), fuel surcharges, accessorial fees (liftgate, inside delivery), and any special handling requirements.
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) consolidates multiple small shipments in one truck, sharing costs; FTL (Full-Truckload) dedicates an entire trailer to one customer’s goods, offering faster transit and lower per-unit cost for large volumes.

Incoterms® (International Commercial Terms) are standardized trade terms (e.g., EXW, FOB, DDP) that define responsibilities, risk transfer, and cost-sharing between buyer and seller in international transactions.
