Cross docking involves moving freight from one trailer or train car to another outbound truck for the next leg of its journey.  In the LTL Freight market, cross docking is used quite frequently.  Cross docking facilities do provide opportunities to lower freight costs because loads can be reassembled to match destinations of the trucks along the way.
