A cross dock built for Norfolk freight
Norfolk International Terminals is the Port of Virginia’s biggest container terminal, and much of what it unloads heads inland toward Richmond. Our cross dock is the Port of Virginia transload point for many importers: containers come up I-64, are devanned at our dock, and freight is reloaded onto LTL or delivery trucks for Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic. We also cross-dock freight going the other way into Norfolk.
Norfolk is home to the Port of Virginia’s largest terminal and the world’s largest naval base.
We pair cross-docking with last-mile delivery, so freight for Norfolk can be transferred and delivered by one team. See our last mile delivery service in Norfolk.
