Cross-docking is the logistics discipline of consolidating inbound freight from multiple origins and redistributing it to multiple destinations — without permanent storage — at a hub or intermediate facility. SSL’s 320+ location network includes dedicated cross-docking hubs at major freight junctions where inbound PTL freight is sorted, consolidated, and dispatched to outbound lanes within a defined time window.
