How it's used
Focuses on the logistical process of moving items from one point to another, often implying a professional or commercial context. While it can apply to people, it is far more common to hear it used for cargo, freight, or supplies. For moving people, other terms like 接送 or 載 are typically preferred depending on the specific situation.
Examples
This company specializes in transporting large furniture.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 送, which is used for giving gifts or dropping someone off at a location. Using 運送 for giving a birthday present to a friend sounds overly formal and mechanical, as if the person were a piece of cargo.
