Freight Consolidation

Freight consolidation streamlines the shipping process by having the carrier take multiple separate shipments and put them in one shipping container. These combined shipments can come from one or multiple suppliers and can travel by air, sea or ground together. In any case, they'll be heading in the same direction to a specific waypoint. It is there where the consolidated shipments get split up and forwarded to their final destinations, which could be customers' homes, retailers or warehouses. This logistical method can help your small business solve the problem of having to choose between paying more to send a partial load of freight versus waiting longer to have a full shipping container ready to go. It also provides some flexibility since it works whether you have several individual parcels or several less-than-truckload shipments.
