Cross Docking in New Jersey, near Port Newark
Freight that already knows where it is going does not need a storage bill. It comes off the inbound truck, crosses the dock and leaves on the outbound one, with minimal or no storage time in between.

Inbound to outbound: how cross-docking works here
Inbound to outbound
Freight is received, checked against your paperwork and staged for the outbound truck rather than put away into storage.
Same-day turns
Freight staged for an outbound truck moves with minimal or no storage time. Walk-in work runs first come, first served, Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5 PM; after 5 PM and on weekends it is by appointment, so timing is best agreed in advance.
Freight consolidation
Small shipments going the same direction are combined into fuller outbound loads, which is what actually lowers cost per unit on an LTL lane.
Pallet rebuilding on the way through
If a load arrives leaning or over-height for the outbound trailer, it can be restacked before it leaves rather than turned away.
Outbound LTL, FTL and final mile
Handed to your carrier, moved on a truck we arrange, or delivered locally from $350 depending on distance.
Port and rail pickup
Container pickup and drop from the terminal and rail ramps, so the box keeps moving before per diem starts.
When the freight needs more than a transfer
Trucks that can only arrive after 5 PM or on a weekend are worked as an after-hours cross-dock by appointment, with the surcharge set by when the work is done. A load that arrives leaning gets a pallet restack before it leaves, confirmed by a manager after inspection. Freight that misses its outbound truck can wait in pallet storage in Carlstadt, by the day or by the month.

What we need to quote a cross-dock
A warehouse cannot price freight it cannot see. Send these and you get a real number instead of a range.
- Pallet or carton count, and whether the freight is palletized
- Inbound arrival date and time, and the outbound destination
- Total weight, and whether any pallet is oversized
- Whether the freight needs restacking or wrapping on the way through
- Whether anything needs to sit past the two free hours
- Photos, if the freight condition is uncertain
