Freight
The word cargo refers in particular to goods or produce being conveyed – generally for commercial gain – by ship, boat, or aircraft, although the term is now often extended to cover all types of freight, including that carried by train, van, truck, or intermodal container. The term cargo is also used in case of goods in the cold-chain, because the perishable inventory is always in transit towards a final end-use, even when it is held in cold storage or other similar climate-controlled facility.

Trade show shipping isn’t one-size-fits-all. You might drive a small inline booth to a local show or use a freight carrier to move a large island exhibit across the country. Your choice depends on your budget, how much time you have, the distance, and how fragile your materials are. Each option has pros and cons. What works for one show might not work for the next. The key is to understand your options and plan ahead so your booth arrives on time and in good shape.
