Road Freight Consolidation

Road freight consolidation is a logistics method that combines many smaller shipments, typically from separate shippers, into a single larger truckload for transportation. This strategy increases vehicle capacity, reduces per-shipment expenses, and reduces empty miles, making it especially useful for businesses that make frequent less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments. It is widely utilized in local and international freight operations to improve road transport and delivery efficiency.

Logistics companies can reduce the number of cars required, optimize routes, and reduce environmental impact by aggregating road freight. This method also makes scheduling and handling easier at distribution facilities. CargoWise’s freight consolidation solutions allow users to aggregate comparable shipments based on route, destination, and delivery deadlines. These solutions develop optimum loading plans, simplify documentation, and calculate shared expenses, resulting in improved profitability and customer service.
