can be dispatched as groupage freight due to the weight/volume


Explanation:
of the individual positions..."

In lieu of "groupage freight" (or groupage cargo), which is used for land transport, you may also write "consolidated freight" (or consolidated cargo).

You may want to turn the sentence around a bit to make it sound more elegant.

Good luck!
