Ground Freight - In The Field
Ground freight of a full truckload is faster than that of a less-than-truckload because the driver doesn't have to stop delivering goods to other clients. Ground freight is offered using different types of trucks. The truck used is determined by the size and weight of the goods to be transported. Ground (road) freight is the most common way to transport goods.
