Transportation brokers and consultants provide services that help companies ship their products. The shipping industry makes use of both the interstate road network and the rail lines. Because these companies ship many different types of cargo, they use different types of containers. Refrigerated freight cars are often used to transport bulk perishable items such as fruits, vegetables, and frozen foods. Most companies have a fleet of flatbed trucks and railroad cars that are used for hauling freight in a timely manner. While the different hauling methods usually have different rates, by using the appropriate express shipping methods, companies can deliver their products to retailers a timely manner.
