What is Transloading?
Transloading or crossdocking is transferring goods from one mode of transportation to another enroute to their final destination. Transloading is one tool for complicated logistics when multiple modes of transit are involved for long-haul shipments. Transloading facilities are designed with the intent of minimizing handling. Transloading concerns the mechanics of transport, while transshipment is a legal term addressing how the shipment originates and is destined.
Transloading facilities can also be used for shifted load recovery. Load shifting occurs when cargo shifts risk vehicles from tipping over.
