A freight carrier is a company that physically transports goods using their vehicles. They are responsible for the actual movement of cargo from one point to another. Freight forwarding refers to companies or individuals that arrange the shipment of goods. They do not typically transport the cargo themselves but coordinate the logistics, handle documentation, and manage the entire shipping process, often involving multiple carriers and modes of transport. At Mercer, we are a freight company that can handle both the shipping and documentation processes that go with it.
