High shipping costs can make it difficult for a small company to grow and ship to new markets. It can be prohibitively expensive for a company to ship only 5,000 pounds worth of goods on a truck that can carry up to 43,000 pounds. This means that larger companies can easily undercut prices due to the economics of scale, or can get the product on the shelf faster than the company using Less than Truckload (LTL) shipping. There is, however, a way around these high shipping costs or slow turnaround times: pool distribution.
With pool distribution, many small orders are combined in one run from several different companies in order to cut costs, move product faster, and reach new markets more effectively.
