Types of Air Freight

- Multimodal transportations. Trucking takes on the responsibility to transport cargo from the point of origin to the place that the client needs. In this case, the mandatory signs of multimodal conditions are the presence of a single transport document and the use of multiple modes of transport (eg, car-aircraft-automobile).
