Storage that keeps freight moving.

Short-term warehousing, cross-docking and transloading for freight between pickup and final delivery.

Short-Term Warehousing

Sometimes freight needs to wait: a delivery window opens later, a customer isn’t ready, or loads need to be combined. Short-term warehousing gives your freight a secure place to stay until it’s needed.

Because storage and transportation are planned together, freight moves out of the warehouse and onto the right truck without extra coordination on your side.

How short-term warehousing works

Four handoffs, all handled by one team.

Receive

Freight is checked in, counted and inspected for damage on arrival.

Store

Held in a secure facility for as long as your plan needs.

Cross-dock or transload

Freight is sorted, consolidated or moved between trailers.

Release

Dispatched to the next destination on your schedule.
