USA Cross Docking

The ability to send your goods directly to a cross dock facility on the USA side of the border helps make for a smooth logistical operation of your goods.  From our USA facility, we can load and unload your goods to cross dock to FTL, LTL or small parcel of your choice.  If you take it another step with us, we can handle your goods to one of our many fulfillment centers throughout the USA as well.  

Cross-docking is a logistics practice that involves transferring goods from inbound transportation to outbound transportation with minimal handling or storage time in between. It is a process of unloading goods from one mode of transportation, such as a truck, and loading them directly onto another mode of transportation, such as another truck, without storing them in a warehouse or inventory.

In a cross-docking operation, the goods are sorted and consolidated based on their final destination and then loaded onto an outbound vehicle that will take them to their final destination. This process eliminates the need for long-term storage and reduces handling costs, as goods are moved quickly through the warehouse or facility.

Cross-docking is commonly used in the distribution of perishable goods, time-sensitive products, and high-volume products. It is also used in the retail industry to receive and sort products for different stores before being shipped directly to their final destination. Cross-docking can help reduce transportation costs, improve delivery times, and increase the efficiency of the supply chain.

In summary, cross-docking is a logistics practice that involves transferring goods from inbound transportation to outbound transportation with minimal handling or storage time in between. It is commonly used to reduce transportation costs, improve delivery times, and increase the efficiency of the supply chain.
