Excerpt from Co-Operation Versus Competition: Between Motor Truck and Railroad Transportation We are accustomed to think of the transportation of goods as divided into four general classes: parcel post, express, less-than carload or package freight (commonly called 1. C. And car-load freight. The essential difference between car-load and l. C. L.

Such movement is called collection and delivery. Parcel post Is not collected. But is delivered by the government. Express is collected and delivered by the express company. Freight is collected and delivered, not by the railway company, but by the trader or by the owner of trucks or teams, whom we will call the trucker.
