Third-party logistics providers typically specialize in integrated operation, warehouse transportation services which can be scaled and customized to customers' needs based on market conditions, such as the demands and delivery service requirements for their products and materials.

Besides the costs, the urgency of the shipment, the value of the goods being shipped as well as the size and weight of the goods being shipped need to be evaluated when determining the form of transportation. Shipping & sea freight, Aviation, Rail are some of the forms of freight transportation.
