A freight rate is a price at which a certain cargo/freight is delivered from one point to another. The price depends on the form of the cargo, the mode of transport (truck, ship, aircraft), the weight of the cargo, and the distance to the delivery destination. Many shipping services, especially air carriers, use dimensional weight for calculating the price, which takes into account both weight and volume of the cargo.
