Pool Distribution

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 (line-haul). There the pool is off loaded, segregated and sorted by consignee, then reloaded onto local delivery trucks for delivery to various pool destinations
