Final Mile Pool Distribution Offers Convenience and Speed for Your Deliveries

Our final mile pool distribution services combines multiple LTL shipments into a single, full truckload. The trailers are allocated towards a particular area or direction where there will be multiple delivery points for individual shipments along the route. The driver stops at each to deliver each piece of inventory at its destination.

Last mile delivery using pool distribution maximizes the usage of trailer space. It offers bigger savings to traditional LTL shipping, reduces shipping times, and ensures the safety of your products as they are handled less.
