Cross-docking is a practice where incoming semi-trailer trucks or railroad cars unload materials directly onto outbound trucks, trailers, or rail cars with little or no storage in between.
You might need staging areas where inbound items are sorted and stored until the outbound shipment is complete and ready to ship though. Also, you will require an extensive fleet and network of transport vehicles for cross-docking to work.

Cross docking is a logistics procedure where products from a supplier or manufacturing plant are distributed directly to a customer or retail chain with marginal to no handling or storage time. Cross docking takes place in a distribution docking terminal; usually consisting of trucks and dock doors on two (inbound and outbound) sides with minimal storage space.
