    Frequently Asked Questions

    Learn more about NLS’ Crossdock Services and how our team of logistics experts can help elevate your brand.

    What Is Crossdocking?

    The utilization of a cross-docking strategy aims to reduce warehousing tasks and labor. This is done by promptly transferring cargo from one transportation mode to another directly at the docking facility. This approach generates cost savings and guarantees expedited order fulfillment.

    How Does Crossdock Work With NLS?
    To start, truckloads carrying various products arrive at the entrance docks of the warehouse. Upon arrival, the goods are promptly unloaded from the incoming trucks and sorted based on their destinations or final delivery points. Next, trucks that are specifically designated for the cross-docking operation are stationed at the facility, ready to receive the sorted goods. Once the goods are sorted and prepared for transport, they are loaded onto the waiting trucks. After the cross-docking process is completed, the newly loaded trucks embark on their respective journeys to deliver the goods directly to the customers.
