LTL Consolidation
Benefits of Consolidated Shipping
Considering the market conditions businesses face these days, consolidation solutions are more necessary than ever. By utilizing a consolidation strategy, your freight management will be more effective, cost-efficient, and on-schedule. At Optimum Transportation, we recognize that every shipper is different – but with a proper less-than-truckload (LTL) consolidation solution, you can reach a personalized transportation strategy that meets the needs of both your business and your customers’.
- Cost savings. Oftentimes, shippers will only use half or two-thirds of a trailer, but have to pay for the entire space. Consolidation services combine multiple LTL shipments that are heading in similar locations into a full truckload, and you pay only for the space your freight takes up.
- Reduced chance of damages. Where LTL uses a hub-and-spoke distribution method with multiple touchpoints, consolidation uses a model that significantly reduces the handling of the product as freight moves from shipper to consolidation center to receiver/consignee. With fewer touchpoints, there’s less opportunity for product to be damaged.
- Speed to market. A consolidation strategy can help get your freight delivered where it needs to be, on your schedule. A provider with large freight volumes can put a plan into place that puts your freight on a truck and on the road, better utilizing truck space and a swifter transportation delivery model.

Driver Assist
Driver assist is commonly known throughout the industry as an Accessorial Charge for most Carriers. However, the majority of mega fleets will not even give this type of business the time of day.
At Optimum Transportation, we deliver a wide variety of commodities with the customers we service who often need our assistance with moving cargo to and fro. Many distribution centers require drivers to help unload the product or even impose fees if the product is not properly ready to be moved. That’s why we have built our business around having a Dedicated Pool of drivers in place that understand the importance of Multi-Stop and Driver Assist.
Because of our in-depth experience in the freight transportation industry, we are intimately familiar with the specific requirements of most distribution centers. By utilizing our driver assist services, your business can ensure a successful delivery that meets the standards of your customers every time.
Optimum Transportation fully grasps the critical importance of just-in-time schedules. We pride ourselves on having the best drivers in the industry with years of experience in making sure your freight is protected and delivered on-time!
