Transloading
Transloading refers to the transfer of goods from one mode of transportation to another en route to their ultimate destination. Long-haul shipments of goods often involve multiple shipping companies, multiple modes of transit, or both.

With transloading, you can arrange and sort the shipments before delivering it to the warehouse or distribution center. This eliminates unnecessary and costly land transportation. Furthermore, transloading helps to save costs as you have your own full truckload (FTL), which eliminates LTL costs. There’s also the benefit of speedier delivery to endpoint because many LTL shippers unload in the order they load the shipment.
