However, pound for pound, it is a much cheaper way to transport than door-to-door shipping, even if you include the cost of a third-party trucking company that can drop off and pick up the delivery.

Airport to Airport shipping uses cargo terminals near airports to collect the cargo, usually delivered from trucking companies or some other third-party delivery service.

The cargo is transported to a central hub, such as DFW International Airport, and then redistributed on subsequent flights around the country or around the world.
