Groupage involves transporting several part loads together in one full load. This means that one pallet will not cost the same as a full load to be transported. The vehicle costs, fuel, driver’s salary and toll charges will be equally divided amongst all of the loads.
Sending part loads, or groupage, is still not as cost effective as sending a full vehicle. This is because the load and unload time will be factored into the costs. There will also be additional admin and routing work required by the road freight operator.
