Cross Docking
Cross docking is the practice of unloading cargo from a railcar/semi-trailer truck and then directly loading it out on outbound railcars/semi-trailer trucks with almost no warehouse time in between. Cross docking is a capability Citi Cargo has, thanks to the railway that comes right into our warehouse and the variety of trucking options we have. This is a great option for clients who want to reduce costs of warehousing and labor, but the timing needs to be right to send out all the products right away.
