No Cross Docking

Multiple truck bodies, already loaded in route order, are quickly swapped from trailers to straight trucks for last mile delivery to customers.

Less Windshield Time

There’s no stem drive to get to the market for delivery drivers. This frees-up time to make more, higher quality deliveries per day.

Rapid Expansion

Flexible, easy to deploy truck based solution offers a quicker way to enter new markets compared to setting up a cross-dock.

How It Works

Loading and Line Hauling to a Remote Market

At your central distribution center, multiple containers (up to four per trailer) are loaded through one dock just like a traditional semi trailer!

The loaded containers are then line hauled to a remote market where they will be swapped on to locally stationed final mile trucks to make deliveries.

The Remote Market Swap Yard

After being line hauled to the remote market, the pre-loaded containers are demounted from the line haul trailer and swapped on to to final mile delivery trucks.

The empty containers from the previous day's delivery runs are mounted to the line-haul trailer and returned to the centralized distribution center for reloading.

Final Mile Deliveries

After mounting the loaded containers, final mile delivery trucks operated by local drivers complete their delivery routes for the day.

At the end of the day, the empty trucks return to the swap yard and demount their containers so that they can be returned to the distribution center.

Warehouse on Wheels Load-Through Bodies

Make the most of your loading dock and bay doors with the Warehouse on Wheels load-through bodies feature. Each body is equipped with a REAR AND FRONT roll up door. Up to four final mile truck bodies can be loaded at one door at the same time and shuttled to the market on a trailer. This eliminates wasted time jockeying trailers around to load and the need for cross docking near remote routes. It also cuts down on staging since goods can be loaded directly into truck bodies.
