Besides the classic definition (next section), Pool Distribution has been identified as a prime example of Collaborative Transportation in that, with proper execution, many of the inherent inefficiencies of traditional order fulfillment processes are reduced, if not eliminated. First, Pool Distribution converts more costly line-haul shipments from LTL to truckload. Second, it optimizes the weight and/or volume utilization of transportation assets. Third, it reduces deadhead miles by better sequencing and routing transportation assets within a transportation network. Fourth, it ensures freight is handled fewer times resulting in a lower likelihood of damage. Finally, it reduces billing errors and inaccurate communications. Additionally, carriers benefit with more predictable and regular routes enabling them to attract and retain quality drivers and reduce operating costs.
