Can anyone reccomend a reasonable place in Detroit area to do a 1box (long box)cross docking on a Saturday for a non gouge price have been quoted over 300 for this which is way excessive!!!!
Shouldn't take but 2 min at the most to do it 2 24' trucks
Thanks

i alway carried a piece of metal to put between 2 trucks and move it by pallet jack
back up off center so you could get up into box
and fedexcc paid me money for the cross dock and was able to pick where i want to cross dock

Solved thanks eo still works!

Before heading in there I would snope around and figure out who ya cut the check to..TST doesnt own that Xdock they rent office space there. The Xdock is Owned/Operated by Crew Chief unless something changed that I am not aware of..Figure out who ya cut the check to so ya dont get dinged twice for the same swap.

Unfortunately this requires a fork lift as its 12' long and there is no way to get a pallet jack under it needs to be dragged out and shoved back in another truck crate not on a skid
