Saves Time (and Money)

SYNERGY CROSS DOCK was installed at a 230 door terminal. Prior to installation the customer was running their city P&D operations from a separate adjacent terminal. Here are just some of the results:

  • 20% decrease in number of dock workers needed for same freight volume, allowing growth without new personnel.
  • Reassignment of five employees who had been making copies each night for the dock.
  • Consolidation of city and linehaul oprations into one dock through quicker trailer stripping.
  • Major decrease in misloads and astray freight.
  • Decrease in Over, Short, & Damaged (OS&D) from reduced freight handling.
  • Efficiency improvements at non-Cross Dock terminals from better documentation travelling with linehaul drivers.
