Uncargo

Uncargo refers to a situation in freight and logistics where a shipment is made without a pre-existing contract or agreement between the shipper and the carrier. This can occur for various reasons, such as urgent or unforeseen shipping needs where there is no time to negotiate a formal contract. In such cases, the terms of carriage are typically governed by the carrier's standard terms and conditions, which may be less favorable to the shipper than a negotiated contract. Uncargo shipments can also arise when a shipper utilizes a freight broker or a digital freight platform that matches available capacity with immediate shipping requirements. While convenient for quick shipments, uncdoted freight can sometimes lead to disputes over pricing, liability, or service levels if expectations are not clearly established. It is generally advisable for businesses to establish contractual agreements with carriers for regular or significant shipping volumes to ensure consistent terms and better protection.
