Pool Distribution

Consolidate at our dock; we break it down for final-mile metro delivery. One inbound truck becomes dozens of on-time store deliveries.

In one sentence

Pool distribution at Space Shipping means a shipper sends one consolidated truckload to our 41,000 sq ft Jamesburg, New Jersey facility, where the freight is sorted by destination and delivered final-mile to stores and consignees across New Jersey, New York City, Long Island, Connecticut and Eastern Pennsylvania on company trucks.

How a pool distribution program works

  1. One inbound load. Your distribution center ships a full or partial truckload to Jamesburg instead of dozens of small LTL shipments.
  2. Sort and stage. At our dock the load is broken down by store, consignee or route and staged for the next delivery run.
  3. Final-mile delivery. Our drivers deliver each piece inside its appointment window on equipment sized for the stop — pups and liftgate straight trucks for malls and storefronts.
  4. Proof and data. Signed PODs are scanned the same day and status flows back through the web portal or EDI 214.

Why retailers and brands pool through Central Jersey

Our Jamesburg terminal sits off NJ Turnpike Exit 8A, midway between Metro New York and Philadelphia and inside a day's delivery of every major mall in the region. Pooling here replaces a tangle of national-LTL hand-offs with a single sort and a single delivery carrier that knows the malls. The result is fewer touches, lower freight cost per carton and more predictable store arrivals.

The facility is gated with a single controlled entrance, watched by 16 continuously recording cameras and a centrally monitored alarm, and staffed by Space Shipping employees — the kind of building high-value apparel has called home for decades.

Good fit for

  • Apparel and footwear brands replenishing mall and street stores
  • Retailers consolidating vendor freight for a region
  • 3PLs and DCs that need a metro final-mile partner
  • Seasonal programs: floor sets, holiday, back-to-school

FAQ

Pool Distribution: Questions We Get

What is the difference between pool distribution and LTL?+
With LTL each shipment travels separately through a carrier network. With pool distribution you send one consolidated load to our dock, we sort it, and our drivers make the individual deliveries. Fewer hand-offs, more control and usually a lower cost per stop.
Can you sort by store and sequence deliveries by appointment?+
Yes. Freight is broken down by store or consignee at our dock and routed to hit each delivery window.
Can inbound loads arrive from outside the region?+
Yes. National carriers and your own trucks can deliver to Jamesburg; we take it from there.
Is the facility secure enough for high-value apparel?+
The building is gated with a single entrance, monitored by 16 cameras recording continuously and a central-station alarm, and staffed only by our employees.
