What is consolidated freight?

Truck consolidation is a shipping method in which companies combine multiple smaller shipments from different customers into a single, larger shipment.

Freight consolidation services improve transportation efficiency and reduce costs. In retail freight consolidation, companies combine less-than-truckload (LTL) orders from multiple customers into one, lower-cost truckload delivery. By minimizing the handling of freight and reducing fuel consumption, consolidated freight boosts logistics efficiency and lowers operating costs. Additionally, consolidated shipping offers greater reliability and cost savings, making it an appealing option for grocery and retail businesses.
