Frequently asked questions about Freight Consolidation
What is freight consolidation?
Freight consolidation groups compatible shipments headed in the same direction. It gives shippers a way to share capacity while maintaining a more controlled transit plan.
How does consolidation differ from LTL?
Traditional LTL freight usually moves through a terminal network. Consolidation can keep freight on a more direct path with fewer touches and pallet-based pricing.
Is there a pallet minimum for Transend consolidation?
Our consolidation program uses a flexible pallet pricing model, so we can discuss the right fit based on your freight and lane.
