Consolidating shipments will reduce all of the mentioned costs - pickup and delivery, terminal handling, and billing and collecting. When multiple smaller shipments are consolidated into one larger shipment, the transportation and handling costs get divided among the larger shipment, thereby reducing the cost per unit. Also, billing and collecting become easier as there are fewer individual shipments to handle.
