CROSS DOCKING SERVICES

Cross-docking is a practice in logistics of unloading materials from an incoming semi-trailer truck and loading these materials directly into outbound trucks or trailers with little or no storage in between. Belts has been successfully running, and constantly improving, cross-dock warehousing for decades. Cross-docking freight allows us to sort incoming freight to different destinations, or combine product to one final destination. This practice gets your product to market faster, and reduces costs by using less warehouse space and less labor. Cross-docking is especially beneficial for businesses that need a heavy volume moved quickly and accurately.
