We stage freight for reload, consolidate, or prep the outbound move.
Step 4 — Reload & dispatch
Outbound reload and coordination for pickup/delivery timing.
Cross-docking vs transloading vs warehousing
Cross-docking
Outbound with little/no storage.
Transloading
Often used as “mode/equipment transfer” (container/flatbed/van) and may include cross-dock-style staging. (Use this to naturally capture “transloading Denver” searches.)
Warehousing
Product is stored and distributed as needed (inventory on hand).
