Cross Dock Operations
Bay Logistics Cross Dock Operations
“Cross-docking” can be defined as the practice of unloading goods from inbound delivery vehicles and loading them directly onto designated outbound vehicles. Cross-docking can streamline supply chains and help move goods to market faster and cheaper by consolidating freight destined for the same locations.
Bay will lower transportation expenses and minimize less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments through freight consolidation. Bay Logistics is proficient and experienced in all aspects of managing a cross dock.

Combine smaller product loads into one method of transport to save on transportation costs.
