Transload
Transloading Services – Swift Transfer Between Trailers, Vans, Containers and More
The Problem
In freight, plans can change on a dime. Perhaps your trailer broke down or got damaged and you need to move the freight to a working trailer fast. Sometimes, a shipment needs to be split onto two trucks due to weight distribution (overweight load issues) or to meet different destination routes. These situations require transloading – moving cargo from one trailer/container to another. Doing this without the right equipment or manpower can be a nightmare: heavy goods that need forklifts, dozens of pallets to transfer by hand, potential for product damage if not handled properly, and significant downtime while the truck isn’t moving.
Every minute counts, especially if a breakdown happened on the highway or you’re trying to catch up to a delivery schedule. Transloading is also often needed outside normal business hours, compounding the difficulty in finding help. Without a reliable solution, you face delivery failures, lost cargo integrity, or expensive delays.
Our Solution
Cross Dock Fix provides on-demand transloading whenever you need it. We make transferring freight between trailers quick and seamless. When you call us for a transload, we’ll direct you to our nearest facility. Our team will be there with the necessary equipment – pallet jacks, forklifts, liftgates, and even pallet trucks – to safely unload your freight and reload it onto the new trailer or container. We handle all types of cargo: palletized goods, floor-loaded items, oversized pieces – whether it’s dry goods, refrigerated products, or heavy industrial freight. During the process, we take utmost care to maintain the order and integrity of the shipment. Each pallet or item is accounted for, so nothing gets left behind. If the transload is due to a trailer issue (like a broken door or a wreck), we’ll carefully extract the cargo from the damaged unit and move it without further harm. For weight issues, we can redistribute the load between two trailers on-site, or temporarily offload some cargo, rearrange pallet weight distribution, and then reload to resolve axle weight compliance. The entire operation is coordinated and efficient – our goal is to complete the transfer swiftly so you can get back on the road or on to the next leg of transit with minimal downtime.
