Cross-Docking Services in Dallas, TX
Kentex Cargo offers cross-docking in Dallas from our Carrollton warehouse at 2120 Hutton Drive, Suite 300. This service is for freight that needs to move through a warehouse and get back on the road.
A cross dock can help when one carrier brings the freight in and another carrier needs to take it out. It can also help when a shipment needs to be split, combined, sorted or held for a short time before the next truck arrives.
What We Can Do During a Cross Dock
- Unload the inbound trailer.
- Move palletized freight from one truck to another.
- Hold freight while the outbound truck arrives.
- Sort freight by customer, route or destination.
- Separate one large shipment into smaller loads.
- Combine compatible freight for one outbound load.
- Rewrap or relabel pallets when the job calls for it.
- Reload the outbound trailer.
Cross-Docking for Carriers and Freight Brokers
A load does not always go as planned. A driver may miss an appointment. A carrier may have to drop the load. Another truck may need to recover it. Our Carrollton warehouse gives the broker or carrier a place where the freight can be unloaded and passed to the next truck.
Cross-Docking for Dallas Businesses
Businesses also use cross-docking when goods are coming into Dallas but do not need long-term storage. For example, one truckload can be split into several local deliveries. Freight from several suppliers can also be brought together before it leaves Dallas.
Easy Access from the DFW Highway Network
Our Carrollton warehouse is close to I-35E. Trucks can come north from Dallas and Farmers Branch or south from Lewisville and Denton. Freight coming across I-635 can connect to I-35E. Trucks coming in on I-30 or I-20 can also connect toward I-35E and head north to Carrollton.
The final local roads are around Hutton Drive, Belt Line Road and Crosby Road. Use a commercial GPS for the final route.
Cross-Docking or Warehousing?
Use cross-docking when the freight is moving through and the next truck is known. Use warehousing when the freight needs to stay longer. If the main problem is that the load shifted inside the trailer, use our trailer restacking service.
What We Need Before the Truck Arrives
- Carrier name and arrival time.
- Trailer type.
- Pallet count or piece count.
- Type of freight.
- What you want us to do with the freight.
- Outbound pickup plan.
