There are a number of scenarios in which freight consolidation makes sense. But getting the most out of the exercise can be tricky.

The consolidation of freight shipments can deliver big savings and transportation efficiencies for carriers and shippers alike. But practitioners need to keep some key considerations in mind when they adopt that strategy. On this episode, we explore the ins and outs of freight consolidation, including the operational and technological prerequisites for making the transition a smooth one. Our guest is Phil Schmidbauer, vice president of solution design with ODW Logistics. He addresses the challenges and misconceptions that businesses often confront when seeking to adopt a consolidation model. And he discusses the role that state-of-the-art technology tools play in getting the best results out of the practice. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
