Truck to L carries a combination of items from A and B
Truck to M carries a combination of items items from A and C
Truck to N carries a part of items from B

My question is- is it necessary for all 3 trucks i.e trucks from A, B and C to arrive at point X at the exact same time, for OTM to be able to deconsolidate and consolidate the items back and put them on the respective trucks to L, M and N.

Kindly resolve my doubt.
