What is a Cross-Dock facility?
A cross-dock is a facility where product is brought into a central location, and then sorted for delivery based on driver routes.
Cross-dock = Strategically located small facility with no inventory
The benefits of a cross-dock facility include
- Consolidation of multiple routes for one driver to drive to one location.
- Final mile delivery drivers are located closer to the customer base in that geographic area which allows for better driver hour management and less miles wear and tear on the delivery vehicles.
