Freight Consolidation

Shipment Consolidation

Multiple vendors, one delivery. We combine freight at our Jamesburg dock so your receiver gets one truck, one appointment and one set of paperwork.

In one sentence

Shipment consolidation at Space Shipping combines freight from multiple vendors, purchase orders or origins at the company's 41,000 sq ft Jamesburg, New Jersey facility into a single scheduled delivery, reducing receiving appointments, dock congestion and per-shipment freight cost for consignees across New Jersey, New York City, Connecticut and Eastern Pennsylvania.

Why consolidate

A retailer or distribution center receiving ten vendor shipments books ten appointments, unloads ten trucks and reconciles ten sets of paperwork. Consolidating those shipments through Space Shipping turns them into one scheduled delivery. Receiving labor drops, dock congestion drops, and the freight arrives together instead of trickling in over a week.

For shippers, consolidation turns a series of expensive small shipments into one efficient move on a company truck — with a single carrier accountable for the whole load.

How we run it

  • Inbound receiving at our gated Jamesburg dock from your vendors, carriers or your own fleet.
  • Verification and staging. Piece counts confirmed, freight staged by consignee, held in a camera-monitored building until the delivery date.
  • One delivery. Combined load delivered by our driver inside the receiver's window, on the equipment the stop calls for.
  • Documentation. One POD, scanned same day; EDI 210 invoicing and 214 status available.

Common consolidation programs

  • Vendor consolidation for retailers and DCs in the Exit 8A corridor
  • Multi-PO consolidation for mall stores and flagship locations
  • Combining Manhattan-bound freight into a single low-height or pup-trailer run
  • Cross-dock consolidation: inbound today, out on tomorrow's route

FAQ

Consolidation: Questions We Get

What is the difference between consolidation and pool distribution?+
Consolidation combines many inbound shipments into one outbound delivery. Pool distribution does the reverse: one inbound load is broken down into many deliveries. We run both from the same Jamesburg dock, and many programs use both.
How long can freight sit at your dock before delivery?+
Short holds for consolidation are part of the service. Longer storage is handled through our warehousing and overflow programs.
Do you verify piece counts on inbound freight?+
Yes. Inbound shipments are counted and staged by consignee before they are combined.
Can you consolidate freight headed into Manhattan?+
Yes. Combining Manhattan-bound shipments onto one low-height or pup-trailer run is one of the most common ways our customers cut city delivery cost.
