Optimise Your Freight Costs:The Benefits of Consolidation

Written by Cate Hull | Mar 30, 2023 3:43:44 PM

Consolidation is a cost-effective way to ship goods. It involves combining multiple small shipments into a single full load. By consolidating shipments, you can reduce the number of shipments you need to make, which will lower your shipping costs. This is because the cost of shipping is often calculated based on the size and weight of the shipment. The smaller your shipments are, the more you’ll save by consolidating them.

Why do we use it?

When you consolidate your shipments, you are essentially creating a full load, which means that your shipment is less likely to be delayed or lost in transit. This is because the shipment will be treated as a priority, and it will be given a dedicated space on the truck.
