Commodities represent the product or items that are being shipped from one location to another. Cargo types can vary widely and include goods like electronics, food products, building materials, machinery, chemicals, and much more. In 10 Speed TMS the cargo type can be specified in Bill of Lading or Rate confirmation documents. Cargo types will also be shown when creating or managing orders.
Note that cargo types are shown as an example. They are not added by default to the 10 Speed TMS.
There can be multiple cargo types:
If the carrier is not specifying the cargo type it can be put under Freight all kinds;
More specific cargo type such as frozen, or agricultural cargo can be added and specified;
