Advantages

Cost efficient: Many shippers believe this is the most important benefit of freight consolidation. If you only use half or two-thirds of a trailer, you will typically still have to pay for the entire space. Consolidation allows you to combine multiple LTL shipments that are traveling in the same vicinity into one full truckload shipment, while only paying for the space that their freight takes up.

Reduced damage risk: Even with all the advancements in freight shipping, damaged freight is still a lingering issue. Consolidated shipping uses a method that not only is more cost efficient, but also considerably reduces the on-again, off-again handling of the product, as freight only must travel between the shipper, consolidation centre, and receiver/consignee. With fewer touchpoints, the risk of damaged goods is significantly lowered.

Improved quality control: Another benefit of consolidated shipments is that it allows you to take control of your goods sooner. If for some reason quality control alerts you that there’s a problem with your shipment and it’s already been shipped, you would normally have to wait for the supplier to send a replacement, thus meaning that the timeline of delivering the product is now out of your hands. Freight consolidation allows you to perform quality control measures as soon as the product even reaches the warehouse, which in turn reduces the chances of losing time and control due to unforeseen problems with your order.
