Simply put, goods are transferred from one form of transportation to another in a docking terminal, skipping their costly warehouse stay. Thus the name cross docking, as cargo is transfered across the docking terminal. Operations may utilize staging areas for inbound materials, typically spending between an hour to less than 24 hours at a facility. Thus inventory holding is minimized.
