What is Freight Consolidation?

Freight consolidation is the practice of combining multiple shipments into a single load, allowing businesses to optimize shipping costs and logistics efficiency. By utilizing consolidated freight shipping, we can effectively group your shipments, reducing the number of trucks on the road and ensuring you only pay for the space you use.
