How to move freight (safe)

Define the job: origin/destination, ready date/time, pieces, weight, dims, stackable, hazmat, temp range.
Select mode: FTL (speed/secure), LTL (cost/share), air (urgent), ocean (volume), rail/intermodal (long-haul cost).
Accessorials at quote: liftgate inside residential appointment detention team reefer.
Docs: BOL, labels, MSDS (hazmat), commercial invoice/packing list (intl), COI if required.
Track & prove: live tracking + ePOD with photos/signature; keep exceptions in one thread.

Time varies by lanes and service level.

If this stops	Likely result in 30 days
Boats (ocean)	Port backlogs, import shortages, inventory gaps, rate spikes on air/truck
Planes (air cargo)	High-value/urgent goods delayed; shift to express truck or ocean
Rail	Intermodal piles at ramps; long-haul truck demand up; bulk commodities stuck
Trucks	Retail and factories out of stock in 3-7 days; last-mile halts; broad disruption

Rule-of-thumb; impact depends on region, season, inventory.
