The basics

What is cross-docking — and why does location matter?

Cross-docking is a logistics strategy where inbound freight is transferred directly to outbound vehicles with little or no storage in between. Instead of receiving goods into warehouse inventory and picking them later, cross-docking stages freight for immediate re-dispatch — cutting handling time, reducing storage costs, and compressing lead times significantly.

For South Florida businesses, location is the critical variable. Medley sits at the intersection of SR-826 and the Florida Turnpike — the two most active freight arteries in Miami-Dade County. Our facility puts inbound freight from PortMiami, MIA cargo, and I-75 interchanges within a short drive of every major distribution point in the region.

A cross-dock warehouse is only as good as its position in the network. Ours is purpose-built for South Florida's port-driven, import-heavy freight flows.

What we handle

Cross-docking services at our Medley facility

Full-service cross-dock operations for brokers, importers, distributors, and 3PLs moving freight through South Florida. We handle the complexity so you don't have to.

LTL & FTL freight transfer

Inbound loads received, sorted, and re-dispatched the same day. We handle less-than-truckload consolidations and full truckload direct transfers with equal efficiency.

Same-day execution

Container devanning

Floor-loaded ocean containers unloaded, sorted, and palletized on-site. Direct from PortMiami drayage to our dock — we handle the offload, you keep the freight moving.

Import support

Freight consolidation & deconsolidation

Combine multiple inbound shipments into a single outbound load, or break a full load into multiple delivery routes. Ideal for last-mile distribution across South Florida.

Multi-stop routing

Inbound receiving & dock coordination

Structured dock scheduling, inbound check-in, and outbound release coordination. No scheduling headaches, no missed windows. We communicate proactively with your carriers.

Dock managed

Value-added handling

Labeling, re-palletizing, stretch-wrapping, and light prep services when your freight needs extra work before dispatch. We handle it at the dock so it doesn't slow your network.

Light warehouse services

Short-term storage bridge

When cross-docking needs a brief hold — freight that arrived a day early or is waiting on an outbound appointment — we offer flexible short-term pallet storage at the same facility.

Overflow capacity

The process

How cross-docking works at 3PL Prime

A straightforward operation designed for speed and accuracy. Three steps from RFQ to freight in motion.

01

Submit your RFQ

Tell us your freight type, inbound volume, transfer destination, and timing. We respond with a custom scope and pricing within 24 hours — usually the same business day.

02

We schedule & coordinate

Our team books dock appointments, coordinates inbound carrier arrivals, and lines up outbound dispatch. You get confirmation at every stage — no guesswork on your end.

03

Freight moves, same day

Inbound freight arrives, is checked in, sorted or staged as needed, and released outbound — typically within the same business day. Documentation and POD provided.

Who we work with

Built for South Florida freight operators

Our cross-docking operation is designed around the specific needs of the South Florida freight market — importers turning containers out of PortMiami, freight brokers managing multi-stop LTL loads, and 3PLs that need reliable overflow cross-dock capacity near MIA.

We work best with clients who have recurring or volume freight — regular container releases, weekly LTL transfer lanes, or steady inbound flow from a key supplier. Those relationships work because we understand your operation, not just your load.

Freight brokers — overflow capacity and reliable same-day execution
Importers — container devanning and immediate outbound dispatch from PortMiami loads
Distributors — consolidation and multi-drop routing across Miami-Dade & Broward
3PLs — white-label cross-dock capacity for your own clients
E-commerce sellers — inbound transfer from air freight at MIA to last-mile carriers

Cross-docking vs. warehousing — when to use which

Cross-docking is the right call when freight has a known destination and tight timing. Warehousing is right when you need inventory buffer or demand is unpredictable. Many of our clients use both — cross-docking for import turns, storage for safety stock.

FAQ

Cross-docking questions, answered

Common questions from freight brokers and importers evaluating our Medley cross-dock facility.

What is cross-docking and how does it work at 3PL Prime? +
Cross-docking at 3PL Prime means your inbound shipment arrives at our Medley facility, is immediately sorted and staged, and transferred to an outbound truck — typically within the same business day. There is no long-term storage involved. This reduces handling costs and speeds up delivery to your end customer or next distribution point. We coordinate both inbound and outbound dock appointments to keep the process seamless.
Where is your cross-dock facility located? +
Our cross-docking facility is located at 11250 NW 122nd St, Suite 600, Medley, FL 33178 — inside a Class A Prologis industrial park at the intersection of SR-826 and the Florida Turnpike. We are 9 miles from MIA cargo terminals and 15 miles from PortMiami, giving us fast access to all of South Florida's major freight corridors.
What types of freight can you cross-dock? +
We handle LTL and FTL shipments, palletized freight, loose carton loads, and floor-loaded containers (devanning). We also support freight that needs light value-added handling — labeling, re-palletizing, or stretch-wrapping — before dispatch. If you have specific requirements for temperature-sensitive, high-value, or oversized cargo, reach out and our operations team will scope the right process for your load.
How is cross-docking priced? +
Pricing is based on shipment volume, frequency, freight type, and service level required. We offer both flat-rate and volume-based pricing structures with no setup fees and no hidden charges. Submit an RFQ with your freight details and we'll respond within 24 hours with a custom quote tailored to your operation.
Do you offer cross-docking for PortMiami container releases? +
Yes. This is one of our most common use cases. Importers arrange drayage from PortMiami to our Medley facility, where we devan the container, sort and palletize the freight, and dispatch it outbound to final destinations across South Florida or onto connecting carriers heading north. Our location — 15 miles from PortMiami — keeps drayage costs low and turns fast.
