Course Description
Transport pooling allows partners to benefit from several advantages that lead to green and sustainable transport, integrating sustainable development objectives. Pool distribution increases speed to destination and lowers overall costs. The concept is simple; instead of ordering individual less-than-truckload (LTL) deliveries to multiple stores or destinations, the pool distribution method collects truckloads of freight at a strategically located distribution point. That pool point then combines multiple deliveries into one truck and delivers them to geographically routed destinations.
