Cross-Docking 101

As a business owner, you probably know that shipping products and materials to and from your business can be complicated. Sometimes, unexpected situations arise and you need to get items off a truck for last mile delivery, rescheduled delivery, or canceled orders. In these situations, cross-docking can help you get your items where they need to go in a timely manner. 

 

Cross-Docking Basics

Cross-docking involves unloading or rearranging items on a freight truck to remove certain items for a later pickup, final delivery to their destination with last mile delivery, or holds due to order cancellations. In some cases, cross-docking may be necessary to fix loads that have shifted and may compromise the integrity of your freight. 

 

At Xcel Delivery, we provide optimized cross-docking solutions that are guaranteed to save you time and money. We have a team of experienced professionals who will work with you to develop a customized cross-docking solution for your business.

 

What to Expect with Cross-Docking

When you contact Xcel Delivery for cross-docking services in Phoenix, your truck will have access to our expansive warehouse, which is equipped with multiple bays at varying heights to accommodate all types of freight. 

 

With cross-docking, you can add to an existing order that is on hold awaiting items for delivery, or you can remove items from the truck to hold in short- or long-term storage in our warehouse. Alternatively, you may simply need a place to rearrange the contents of a trailer that has become jostled due to rough road conditions on a cross-country journey. Thanks to our convenient location right off I-10 near Sky Harbor airport, you can easily make our warehouse a stop during your freight delivery without causing long delays. Our cross-docking services are available as a one-time solution or as an ongoing service.
