freight tariffs

Freight tariffs are official documents that detail the costs and rules for shipping goods via transportation companies like railroads or trucking firms. They specify the prices for different routes, weight categories, and types of cargo, along with policies on billing, delivery times, and additional fees. Think of them as the “price lists” that ensure transparency and consistency in freight charges. Tariffs help both shippers and carriers understand their obligations and costs, ensuring efficient and fair transportation of goods across distances.
