Cross-Docking in Vancouver at a glance
We move freight from inbound to outbound without putting it into racking, across twenty dock doors on East Broadway. A cross-dock saves money when the timing works and costs money when it doesn't. We'll tell you which applies to your freight before you commit to a pattern. Here the twenty dock doors matter more than the square footage. A cross-dock fails when no door is free at the moment the freight lands, which makes door scheduling the limit.

FAQ
Questions about cross-docking in Vancouver
How long can freight sit?
Cross-docked freight usually moves in hours, and we have the floor to hold it if the outbound slips. If a pattern turns out to be short-term storage, we'll tell you, because the two are priced differently.
Can you consolidate from multiple suppliers?
Yes. Inbound from several vendors, sorted and rebuilt into one outbound load is a normal pattern here.
Do you cross-dock to Calgary?
Yes. The Calgary lane runs six days a week on our own equipment, so freight can come off an inbound here and be on that trailer the same day.
Can you cross-dock straight out of a container?
Yes. The container comes off the port on our own chassis, gets stripped at the dock and goes straight onto the outbound trailer, which removes a storage line and a handling line from the bill. It only works if the outbound is booked before the container lands, so tell us the timing early.
