FOB (Free on Board) is one of the most important terms in shipping, defining who covers costs and liability at different stages of transit. Yet, it’s often confused with something completely different—a key fob. 🤭 One helps you unlock a car. The other determines who’s responsible for freight costs and risk. Big difference. Whether you're shipping domestically or internationally, understanding FOB terms can help you avoid unexpected costs and disputes. With uShip, navigating LTL freight is easier, more cost-effective, and fully transparent. #uShip #Freight #Shipping #LTL #Logistics #FOB
