So what is cross docking and what can it do for your business?

What is Cross Docking?

If you’ve spent any time trying to figure out how to ship, store and distribute goods then you’ve probably wondered what is cross docking? Simply put, it’s the transfer from an inbound truck, trailer or railcar to an outbound one. The transfers can happen between two different modes of transportation and there is typically little to no storage time in between the transfers.

What is Cross Docking Going to Do for Your Business?

Cross docking is a cost-effective way of transferring goods since it doesn’t rely on much, if any, storage. There are some exceptions to the “no storage” buy generic soma rule and OCT has you covered for these instances.
