Freight consolidation involves combining the cargo from multiple shippers at a supervisory warehouse or similar consolidation point. The shippers’ freight is then transported together to a destination which often results in lower shipping rates. Both Less Than Container Load (LCL) and Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipments use this process to combine and ship the cargo of more than one shipper.
