Cross-docking involves items being transported to a central terminal or warehouse via courier, truck, or trailer (and in some cases rail, aircraft, or sea-vessels). Typically, cross-docks are buildings with loading equipped with docks on both sides. To simplify the unloading / loading process, incoming materials usually arrive on one side of the building, are sorted in the middle of the warehouse (staging area) and then reloaded outbound and dispatched from the other side.
