Shipment consolidation

Shipment consolidation combines multiple shipments for a shared transport leg. The individual destinations or orders remain distinct and may require separation after the common journey.[1]

Combining freight can reduce transport costs but requires coordinated departures. Do not let an urgent customer order silently wait for a cheaper shared load. Weigh savings against additional handling and potential delay.
