They hold smaller shipments until they amass a larger shipment and move the items onto their various destinations. Freight forwarders typically have significant warehouse space used for consolidation.

Typically this is done with containers that can be transported by truck, rail and ship or barge. Intermodal transportation is typically used for inter-continent freight.
