Freight forwarders are sometimes loosely referred to within the industry as "travel agents for cargo," or “architects of transport.” For pocket-sized phrases, these are pretty accurate descriptions. Like a travel agent, a forwarder schedules and coordinates trips for cargo, and draws up all necessary documentation to ensure the trip proceeds smoothly. As architects, they are tasked with plotting and constructing connections between points on their 'blueprints,' which for freight forwarders, are maps of product and information flows within complex supply chains. In short, freight forwarding entails the scheduling, coordination, and documentation of intermodal transportation for cargo on behalf of shippers.

A freight carrier is a company that transports large, heavy shipments from Point A to Point B – it’s that simple. Companies that ship or sell products need a way to transport their shipments from plants and factories to warehouses, customers, ports, and other such places – and freight carriers are the ones who handle this process. Only the very largest companies have their own logistics teams and freight services, and they still often employ third-party freight carriers to carry shipments of goods. Freight carriers are responsible for safely transporting products and goods from their origin – such as a factory, to their destination, such as a warehouse. Though this may seem simple, there are a number of different services that most freight carriers offer, and they all must meet stringent governmental regulations.
