barging

Barging refers to the practice of sharing a vehicle or transportation space with others to reduce costs or increase efficiency. In logistics, it involves transporting multiple shipments together in a single truck or vessel, even if they are destined for different locations. This method optimizes space, lowers expenses, and can improve environmental sustainability by maximizing the use of each transportation resource. Barging is common in industries like freight shipping, where consolidating goods helps streamline operations and reduce transportation costs.
