Cross-Docking

Cross-Docking & Transloading Near the Port of Virginia

Some freight should never be stored. Cross-docking moves your cargo out of the ocean container and straight onto outbound equipment at our Portsmouth facility — minutes from the terminal, without a storage cycle in between.

How it works

We pull the container from NIT or VIG, bring it to our dock, unload it, and reload the freight onto the outbound trailer or pallets your next leg requires. The empty goes back to the terminal on our equipment. You pay for handling, not for weeks of warehouse space.

  • Container pickup from NIT and VIG
  • Devanning and reload onto outbound equipment
  • Palletizing and re-stacking as needed
  • Empty container return handled by us
  • Same-vendor drayage on both ends
  • Overflow moved to warehouse or yard when needed

When cross-docking is the right call

Transloading pays off when ocean containers need to become domestic trailer loads, when a receiver cannot take a container at their dock, or when freight is already committed to a downstream customer and only needs a change of equipment.

  • Container-to-trailer conversion for domestic linehaul
  • Receivers without container-capable docks
  • Consolidating or splitting loads by destination
  • Time-critical freight that should not dwell

Backed by yard and warehouse space

Plans change: appointments slip and outbound trucks miss windows. Because our yard and 3PL warehouse are on the same site, freight that cannot ship immediately gets held rather than stranded — and the same coordinator manages the change.

Scope

Dry and refrigerated freight, including project volumes. We do not handle chemical freight or oversize / over-dimensional loads.
