Glossary

What is groupage?

Groupage means combining multiple customers’ smaller consignments into a single truck. It is the common European word for what North American freight calls LTL, and pricing depends on weight, volume, and how well the freight consolidates on the lane.

In freight operations

Groupage quoting rewards desks that know their own consolidation patterns: the same pallet prices differently depending on what else is moving on the corridor that week.

Requests often arrive with incomplete dimensions — a good first-pass draft extracts what is stated and asks for what is missing.
