To stay competitive in a constantly changing business environment, you need a freight carrier that can move your product competently, quickly, safely, and at a competitive price.
You’ve found us–we are Bridgetown Trucking.
With over 26 years’ experience providing reliable, honest, reasonably-priced, and state-of-the-art service to our customers, we pride ourselves in finding flexible ways to help our clients streamline their supply chain and maximize efficiency.
At both our Portland, Oregon, and St Louis, Missouri facilities, Bridgetown Trucking Cross-docking is just one of many services Bridgetown customers enjoy.
In plain language, cross-docking describes how incoming freight is directly transferred from one truck to another, with little or no warehouse storage in between. The benefit to your business? Rather than placing goods in long-term storage, cross-docking keeps your products moving, reduces shipping and overhead costs, improves inventory management, and minimizes unnecessary warehouse storage fees.
Cross-docking Advantages for Bridgetown Trucking Customers
It’s really about speed, flexibility, and reducing freight and warehouse costs. Think of it as increasing the speed of your freight by shortening your wait.
Cross-docking minimizes the need for traditional warehousing by moving goods directly from inbound to outbound transportation. This process improves inventory management and handling time, lowers labor costs, and gets your products to market faster.
How Does Bridgetown Trucking Optimize Cross-docking for You?
We support a wide range of cross-docking, freight, and warehousing needs, including:
-
Pre-distribution cross-docking: Bridgetown Trucking serves customers who utilize our warehouse space and our expertise in packaging and labeling before their goods are shipped to big retailers like Amazon.
-
Post-distribution cross-docking: We will hold your shipment until you confirm final delivery instructions.
-
Emergency Transfers: Sometimes your shipment doesn’t go as planned: a trailer breaks down; a shipment arrives early and the FTL has to warehouse their load and move on to other jobs; or time-sensitive cargo must be rerouted quickly. Bridgetown Trucking has the warehouse and fleet capacity in any situation.
-
Transloading; We work with clients to consolidate shipments into full truckloads or to break down full loads into regional or last-mile deliveries.
-
Secure, short-term warehousing.
