What cross-docking covers
Ocean container devanned and direct-loaded to outbound trailer. Inbound pallets never touch reserve, never accrue storage.
Inbound load matched to pre-built outbound orders. We pre-stage labels and BOLs so cross-dock turn is hours, not days.
Seal-to-seal documentation. Inbound seal photographed at break, outbound seal photographed at close. Counts reconciled at every transfer.
How a cross-dock runs
Inbound ETA + outbound orders matched 48 hours ahead. Labels, BOLs, and outbound carrier dispatched in advance.
Inbound seal broken on camera. Pallets counted, photographed, and reconciled against the inbound packing list at the dock.
Pallets staged at outbound dock. Outbound trailer loaded, BOL signed, seal applied. No reserve put-away.
Coordinate outbound carrier pickup.
