If you are a small or mid-sized CPG company that, because of lower freight volumes, must use higher-cost, less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments, KANE can help. Our nationwide Load Consolidation services can combine your shipments with other KANE clients to ship at TL prices.
How does the load consolidation service work?
- Shipment requests come into KANE from multiple manufacturers and are downloaded into Kane’s load consolidation system -- “LoadCon”
- LoadCon automatically builds full truckload shipments based on multiple factors, including ship-to points, and the customer’s requested delivery date.
- Cost of the TL is divided between manufacturers who have product on the truck.
Customers have complete online visibility to order status throughout the process.
Benefits of load consolidation services
- 20% to 35% decrease in freight costs
- Faster delivery time, as multi-stop truckload shipments avoid breakdown of goods at LTL hubs
- Ability to economically replenish retail customers with regular, small shipments
- Payment services to customers’ carriers handled by KANE
- KANE monitors all required D.O.T regulations and insurance status of customers’ carriers
- KANE monitors customer shipping patterns and suggests additional ways to save
