Lower shipping cost, with less handling

Pool Distribution is the distribution of orders to numerous destination points within a particular geographic region. Characteristics include a high frequency of regular shipments in LTL quantities, typically in the 150 to 10,000 pound range. Pool distribution represents a superior and cost effective alternative to the high cost of LTL shipments. Instead of LTL direct, pool distribution orders are shipped to a regional terminal in a volume shipment (linehaul). There the pool is off loaded, segregated and sorted by consignee, then reloaded onto local delivery trucks for delivery to various pool destinations.

Pool distribution reduces transit times, maintains shipment and temperature integrity, reduces claim potential due to less handling, allows pulling of orders by ship date versus order date, and allows a significant discount over LTL rates. Factors contributing to the cost effectiveness of pool distribution over LTL include: the number of pool points per pool, weight per shipment, frequency of deliveries, perishability, and distance from pool point (terminal) to consignee.
