Selection Guide

Air or truck freight?

There is no single best mode for every shipment. Air often suits urgent replenishment, while truck freight can suit planned transport. The final choice depends on the actual cargo and current route.

Start with cargo attributes

General and special-attribute cargo may have different available channels; confirm eligibility first.

Check the inventory schedule

Stock levels, delivery deadlines and acceptable variation determine timing priority.

Compare the full cost basis

Review chargeable weight, remote-area rules, packaging and possible additional items.
