Cross-docking refers to the process of moving cargo from a truck (or railcar) to another truck, at a cross-docking warehouse. Palletized goods and FCL loads can wait in a secure location, to be consolidated with other freight for the same business. Containers may also be picked up from Port of Houston, and delivered to a warehouse, where the goods are separated and unloaded if they will be freight forwarded to different destinations. This is often the case with retail goods that have been imported to stock multiple locations. We are experts at Cross-docking and are ready to serve your companies needs.
