Freight Handling FAQ
What is freight handling?
Freight handling is the hands-on dock work that keeps cargo moving: loading and unloading containers and trailers, transferring freight between trucks, and restacking, palletizing or wrapping loads. You book it only when you need it.
Can you unload a container on short notice?
Often, yes. With 16 loading docks we have more room to fit work in than most small warehouses. Call us with the container size, the cargo, and the arrival time, and we will confirm the earliest slot we have.
Can a truck arrive after business hours?
Yes, after-hours receiving is available by arrangement. Let us know the expected arrival time ahead of the delivery so our team is at the dock when the driver arrives.
Do you document damage on freight you handle?
Yes. We take photos of the freight when it arrives and after our work is done, and we note any damage, shortages or overages, so you have a clear record for your customer or carrier.
Can you store the freight after unloading it?
Yes. Freight can go straight back out on another truck, or stay in our warehouse for a few days, weeks or longer. See our warehouse storage options for details.
