secondary type of ship called a feeder
A train carries freight. A ship carries cargo.
One may ship freight by air, land or sea.
Some of the items that ship under freight class 55 are adhesives, magazines, and select types of bricks. Additional items include films and cement among others.
FREIGHT
Shipping freight is so cheap as the company that needs to ship a lot of tonnage is actually chartering a ship. The charterer pays the ship owner for the use of the ship.
Freight class for furniture depends upon the size of the furniture and the weight. If your furniture is packed flat in the boxes it would be class 70 or 85. For example at mcgillteak outdoor furniture, we ship most of our furniture in class 85. But if furniture has lot of pillows and cushions than most likely the class would be anywhere from 175 to 200. I hope that helps.

It is not very easy to catch a free ride on a freight train. The crane is loading your freight on the cargo ship right now, sir.
