Walk-in hours end at 5 PM, and freight does not always agree. The dock is open 24/7: after 5 PM and on weekends the work is by appointment, a manager confirms it, and the published surcharge follows when the work actually happens rather than when the driver pulled in.

How after-hours cross-dock work is arranged
Walk-in hours first
Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, first come first served and no surcharge. Most freight never needs anything else.
5 to 7 PM
A $150 surcharge on top of the normal handling rates for work performed in that window, by appointment with a manager.
7 to 8 PM
A $250 surcharge for work performed between seven and eight, by appointment with a manager.
After 8 PM
A $350 surcharge, and a manager has to confirm it by phone in advance. This is not something to turn up and hope for. Weekends are by appointment too, and extra fees apply.
Charged on work, not on arrival
The surcharge follows the hour the work is actually performed. Arriving at 4:45 PM does not make an 8 PM restack a daytime job. It cuts the other way too: arrive at 6 PM and be worked at 6:15, and that is a 5 to 7 PM job, not a 7 to 8 PM one.
What can be done late
The same work as any other hour: cross-dock, transload, restack, unload, storage in and out.
The same work, any hour
Inside walk-in hours the same job is a standard cross-dock transfer in New Jersey, with no surcharge. A load that shows up shifted late in the day gets freight rework and restack by appointment, with the surcharge on top of the restack rate. Freight that arrives late and leaves in the morning can wait in short-term pallet storage in Carlstadt at $4 per pallet per day after the two free hours.
What does after-hours freight handling cost?
These are the published rates. Oversized, damaged, unstable and non-standard freight may need custom pricing, and final charges can be confirmed by management after inspection.
- Mon–Fri 8 AM – 5 PMNo surchargeWalk-in, first come first served
- 5 – 7 PM+$150By appointment, on top of normal handling
- 7 – 8 PM+$250By appointment, on top of normal handling
- After 8 PM+$350By appointment, manager confirmation
Surcharges are charged on the actual time the service is performed, not on the driver's arrival time, and they sit on top of the normal handling rates rather than replacing them. The full rate card, including oversized pallet multipliers and the live calculator, is on the pricing page.
What we need to arrange after-hours work
A warehouse cannot price freight it cannot see. Send these and you get a real number instead of a range.
- What the work is — cross-dock, transload, restack, unload
- What time the truck actually arrives, and what time the work needs to be finished
- Pallet or carton count, and whether the freight is palletized
- Whether it is going straight back out or staying
- For anything after 5 PM or on a weekend, as much notice as you can give — a manager has to confirm it by phone
- Photos, if the freight condition is uncertain
