Cross Docking Services
At 14 Star Transport, we offer professional cross docking services in Calgary, AB, helping businesses speed up their supply chain by reducing storage time and keeping freight moving. Our facility is equipped for quick unloading, sorting, and reloading, ensuring your products go directly from inbound trucks or rail cars to outbound vehicles with minimal handling.
What Is Cross Docking and Why Is It Important?
Cross docking is a logistics process where shipments are transferred directly between carriers rather than being stored for long periods. This method reduces warehouse costs, speeds up delivery schedules, and minimizes the risk of product damage. It’s particularly effective for time-sensitive freight or consolidated shipments headed to multiple destinations.
What We Provide
Our Calgary cross docking facility is designed to handle a wide variety of shipments, from palletized freight to oversized equipment. We can accommodate:
- Urgent and last-minute cross dock requests
- Transfers between trucks, trailers, and rail cars
- Short-term holding in our spacious Calgary yard
- Freight re-palletizing and secure staging
If your second truck is delayed, we can hold your containers for a day or two in our secure lot until your outbound shipment is ready.
