- Ground: Dry vans for general freight, flatbeds for machinery or top/side loading, refrigerated trailers for temperature-controlled goods, plus specialized equipment like step-decks or tankers.
- Rail (Intermodal): Containers or trailers move long distances by rail with truck pickup and delivery. Ideal for full-load, long-haul moves where cost matters more than speed.
- Ocean: FCL or LCL in standard, high-cube, reefer, open-top, or flat-rack containers. Economical for heavy international freight but slower.
- Air: Fastest option for urgent or high-value goods, with size and weight constraints and higher cost.
Match mode and equipment to size, weight, value, timing, and special handling needs.
