The main advantage of shared loads is that anyone can benefit from the cost savings by sharing trailer space and less waste. Save up to 40% with a single trailer: When a single load isn’t big enough to fill an entire trailer, it’s obviously a waste of space-and money. By sharing the trailer, not only is it dispatched at full capacity, but you’re splitting the costs with other shippers.

There are several benefits to creating and utilising shared loads. Firstly, the cost savings; shippers usually only use half or two-thirds of a trailer, but still have to pay for the entire space. Shared loads/ consolidated transport services mean that multiple loads/ shipments that are heading in similar locations are combined into a full truckload, and you only pay for the space you are using inside that trailer.
