What is Cartage?

Cartage refers to freight transportation within a short distance, typically the same city. Some carriers specialize as cartage carriers for specific geographic areas. This type of freight shipping service transports freight as LTL shipments. 

Freight that is transported using Cartage is delivered by small box truck or van rather than in a dry van trailer like most freight.
