Transportation and Warehousing
"Goods and people crisscross the continent every day, thanks to the Transportation and Warehousing industry. Establishments in this industry move passengers and cargo using waterways, rail lines, airspace, roads, and pipelines.
Movement is facilitated by air, rail, water, and truck transportation, as well as by public transit, taxicabs, and limousines. Each mode of transportation requires a variety of establishments offering related, specialized services.
This industry is also responsible for mail and light parcel delivery. The US Postal Service, as well as private couriers and messengers, collect, sort, and deliver mail and parcels across the country.
Warehousing and storage establishments provide facilities to house goods. They do not sell or own the goods that they handle, but provide safe and secure storage. They may also offer logistics services, including labeling, inventory control and management, light assembly, order entry and fulfillment, packaging, and transportation arrangement." ~Career Cruising database
