True or False: Cross-docking means you move goods from one transport vehicle directly onto another with minimal or no warehousing

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.
