Seal’s Consolidation service encompasses combining partial Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipments into Full Truckloads (TL), thereby saving overall shipping costs for all customers involved. We proactively look across all of our customer shipments to find a good freight match — that is, the opportunity to consolidate no matter the origin or destination and where there are commonalities in commodity shipped and equipment type required.
For example, when there is a good freight match, consolidation can save customers money in any of the following multi-shipment scenarios:
| Same | Different | |
|---|---|---|
| Origin of shipments | X | X |
| Destination of shipments | X | X |
Consolidation with Seal gives you:
Cost saving synergies
From combining multiple shipments into a less expensive mode with fewer stops and touches to your freight (ie. LTL to TL)
Access to a nationwide network of carriers
Who are accustomed to handling consolidated shipments (ie. doing multi-stops)
Opportunities to synergize with other companies’ shipments
That you otherwise would not have with a dedicated shipment of your own
