Freightment

/ˈfreɪtmənt/ noun

Definition

The act or system of transporting goods for hire; freight or cargo collectively, or the business of commercial shipping.

Etymology

From 'freight' + the suffix '-ment' (denoting an action, state, or result), creating a noun similar to 'shipment' that describes freight transport operations.

Kelly Says

Freightment is an underused word that perfectly captures the entire business of moving things—it's like 'shipment' but more general, covering trucks, trains, and planes as one concept.
