Consolidation freight shipping, commonly called as consolidation, is the process in which the shipments of different shippers are combined into one shipment. It is mostly used where the shipment does not take a whole space in a container during transport for example less than a container load (LCL) or less than a truck load (LTL). Because of this, the smaller consignments are grouped, ensuring that all the space in the carriers is used, reducing the shipping cost.
