Partial Consolidation
At Renaissance Brokerage LLC, our Partial Consolidation program is designed to provide a cost-effective solution for businesses that don’t require full truckload shipments but still want to save time and money on Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipments. We specialize in swiftly combining and matching large partial shipments with other freight, ensuring that you make the most of your budget. A large partial shipment refers to a consignment of five or more pallets that must travel more than 750 miles. When freight is picked up by standard LTL carriers, it often goes through a cross-dock facility where it is repeatedly offloaded and stored for several days until a full truckload is assembled. This process can result in long wait times, reclassification of your freight, higher “volume” rates, and potential claims – issues commonly associated with LTL shipping. Every day, we help our clients eliminate these challenges through our Partial Consolidation service. Renaissance Brokerage locates trucks with available space and negotiates fair prices, ensuring that your orders are delivered faster with minimal product handling.
