Off-site consolidation
is the procedure of taking all the shipments, often unsorted and in bulk, to a 
separate location. Here, the loads can be categorized and combined with those going to similar 
destinations. 
The possibility of off-site consolidation is typically good for shippers who have less visibility to what 
orders are coming but have more flexibility with transit times and due dates. The drawback is the extra 
cost and additional handling needed to move the product to a place where it can be consolidated
