Purpose of Transloading

Transloading refers to transferring products from one transportation mode to another. Regarding e-commerce fulfillment warehouses, transloading usually involves the transfer of goods from one type of shipping container to another. For instance, products might be moved from a truck trailer to a shipping container. The purpose of transloading in e-commerce fulfillment centers is to simplify the efficient and cost-effective movement of goods via the supply chain. Global Docks assist importers and exporters with locating space and filling containers on ships, choosing between air and land freight, and searching for the best prices for any of the above services. By doing this, we maximize the use of available transportation modes and minimize shipping costs by transloading products from one form of a shipping container to another. In addition, our team handles shipping and receiving for our clients, freight forwarding (if applicable), and shipment handling from point A to point B. Our fleet of trucks can also transfer your packages directly from the docks to their destination. We solve the logistical needs of your business so you can focus on running your company with peace of mind.
