Unlike conventional full-truckload transport, where a single shipper occupies an entire vehicle, collaborative transport solutions involve multiple shippers or carriers actively sharing capacity and routes. One truck carries freight from several senders, backhauls are filled with other customers' goods, or competing logistics providers align their networks through shared platforms. The model is most prevalent in less-than-truckload (LTL), groupage, and parcel operations, where digital freight exchanges expose available capacity in real time. Per-shipment costs fall, asset utilization rises, and empty miles shrink – with measurable CO₂ savings. The concept goes further than standard groupage: collaborative transport solutions involve multi-party network coordination between independent partners, not merely a single forwarder consolidating several consignments onto one vehicle.
