Definition: Payment for transportation.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a peek,
At the word "freight," a simple concept we seek!
The dictionary tells us, it’s “payment for transport,” you see,
But let's dig a little deeper – what does that really mean to me?
Think of trucks and trains, ships sailing the sea,
Moving goods around, for you and for me.
“Freight” is the
cost
you pay, it’s quite plain to view,
For getting your boxes and packages through!
It's not just a dollar, or a simple exchange,
But a price paid for moving things across the range.
So remember this rhyme, and don't be misled,
“Freight” means the payment when goods are being led!
