Cross-docking moves freight from one truck to another. This is most commonly done at a warehouse, which we do efficiently. However, there are times when it can also be accomplished by backing two trailer tails together and shifting the freight from one trailer to another.

Cross-docking applications are the best way to make sure your products hit the shelves in time for the next sale. Not only that but consolidating freight can reduce costs, and an efficient cross-dock may be a solution to achieve those reduced costs for you.

We run a large and efficient cross-dock operation in Michigan and our expertise in cross-docking and warehousing is a combination that can provide your supply chain with the finest solutions.

The strategy of supplier consolidation can reduce the amount of carriers at your store or distribution center and your transportation costs can be dramatically reduced. We’ve learned the best practices to store-bound freight optimization for your industry; and that enables us to get the most out of each outbound shipment. We can even show your suppliers how to best pack the trucks for delivery to the cross-dock, which saves on labor costs during the entire process.

Here’s details on how cross-docking works:

Cross-docking allows the customer to buy just the quantities that they need for each location and minimizes the transportation costs for everyone. It allows suppliers to ship in economic quantities. A supplier consolidates the orders for all of the customer’s destinations into a truckload and sends that load to the cross-dock. The cross-dock then deconsolidates that load into individual shipments for each unique destination.
