Storage - Temporary Freight Space For When Plans Change
The Problem
Logistics doesn’t always go as planned. Maybe a receiver pushed your delivery appointment to next week, and you can’t afford to have your trailer tied up that long. Or your driver runs out of hours and you need to park the load overnight until fresh dispatch takes over. In these cases, you need short-term storage – a safe, secure spot to hold the goods – but many warehouses require long-term contracts or aren’t willing to take a last-minute load for just a day or two. Leaving the freight on your trailer isn’t ideal (it makes the trailer unusable for new loads, and cargo might not be in a secure location). You worry about cargo security, potential damage, or access when it’s time to retrieve it. Without an available short-term warehouse, you’re stuck with a loaded truck sitting idle or risk storing goods in an unsecured lot.
Our Fix
Cross Dock Fix offers flexible short-term storage options across the country. We tap into our network of warehouses and yard locations to find you a nearby spot to safely store your freight for as long as you need – be it a few hours, overnight, or a couple of weeks. Here’s how it works: you contact us with your location and timeframe, and we’ll arrange a storage solution based on your needs. We handle the in-take of your freight – unloading it into the warehouse if you want to free up your trailer, or we can even secure the entire trailer in a monitored yard if that’s preferred. Your goods will be logged, inventoried, and kept secure. Our facilities accommodate various needs: we have ambient storage for general goods, climate-controlled or refrigerated storage for perishable or sensitive products, and even hazmat-capable sites if your freight requires special handling. While in storage, your freight is under the watch of professional warehouse staff and often surveillance systems; it’s far safer than a truck stop or drop lot. When you’re ready to move the freight, simply let us know and we’ll facilitate quick retrieval – either reloading it onto your truck or even arranging a local delivery if needed. We will safely store your freight for the time agreed until you’re ready for it to complete its journey.
Why You Can Trust Cross Dock Fix
We know handing over your cargo for storage requires trust. Cross Dock Fix has vetted, reliable warehousing experts with high standards of security and cleanliness. Communication is key: we’ll confirm once your freight is stored and help provide reference numbers or paperwork you might need. Our team remains on standby to coordinate the next steps – we don’t just shelf your goods and forget about them. Because we specialize in short-term arrangements, we are extremely flexible: need an extra day of storage because plans changed again? No problem. Want to send a different carrier to pick up the load? We’ll verify and release it according to your instructions. Many competitors or big warehouses won’t bother with a one-pallet one-day storage – but with Cross Dock Fix no request is too small or too urgent. We understand the importance of locality: our storage options are strategically near major highways or city distribution centers, meaning when it’s time to deliver, you’re only minutes away – keeping final-mile costs low and timing tight.
Your freight’s short term stay is just a call away – store it with Cross Dock Fix and rest easy.
