Richmond & Virginia Cross Docking: 24/7 Cross Dock, Pallet Restack and Drayage

Cross docking means freight comes off one truck and goes onto another with little or no storage in between. You will see it written as cross dock, cross docking or crossdock. They all mean the same thing: a fast handoff at a dock.

A good cross dock does more than swap trailers. The crew counts the freight, checks its condition, sorts it by destination and reloads it so it can keep moving. If a pallet is damaged or leaning, it can be reworked before the next truck leaves.

Cross docking Virginia freight is popular because so much of it crosses the state on the same few highways. A dock in the right spot saves miles, and saved miles save money.

Richmond has easy access to I-95, I-64, I-85 and I-295. That makes Richmond cross docking a natural choice for freight moving between the Carolinas, Washington DC, the Port of Virginia and the rest of the state.

Our dock is at 2208 Station Rd in North Chesterfield, minutes from those highways. If you search for Richmond cross docking near me and you are anywhere on the I-95 corridor, we are a short drive away. Our dock handles cross docking Richmond, VA freight of all sizes, from a single pallet to a full trailer.

What carriers, brokers and shippers get

• A dock minutes from the interstates
• A crew that handles freight every day
• Next-day turnaround, with same-day pickup when needed
• Delivery by our own trucks if you need it
• $1 million in insurance coverage

Freight does not follow business hours, and a 247 cross dock is built around that. Our regular dock hours are weekdays 8 to 5. Our phones are answered 24/7, and nights, weekends and holidays are available by appointment for an added after-hours fee that we quote up front.

When to call for emergency cross-dock service

An emergency cross-dock service is for the moment a plan falls apart. Common reasons to call:

• A truck broke down and the load has to move to another trailer
• A driver is running out of hours
• A receiver refused the load
• A pallet shifted or tipped and the freight cannot ride as it is

Call early and tell us where you are, what is on the truck and what went wrong. Text photos if you can. We will tell you how fast we can take it. Call or text (804) 600-4352.
