Port Everglades & Port of Miami Transloading

What is Transloading?

Transloading or commonly referred to as Cross-docking, is simply the process of transferring goods from an inbound truck and loading them onto an outbound vehicle.

This service is typically done on the same day as the incoming goods needed to be transferred to a different means of transportation for the customer’s final delivery.

In South Florida, this service is commonly used when shipping container companies transport a customer’s container from the port yard to a warehouse facility. From there, a third party trucking company may be scheduled to deliver the freight.

When to consider cross docking

Companies typically use a South Florida transloading service in instances where the freight either needs to be stored temporarily in a warehouse or when the final delivery is further away from the port and it costs them less to schedule a trucking company to handle the delivery.
