Value-added handling at the Kent warehouse

Once the container is devanned, the team works the freight for its next leg. That covers palletizing floor-loaded cargo onto domestic pallets, labeling and tagging, kitting and assembly, quality inspection, and staging the load for the outbound trailer. This is the transloading and storage flow extended one step, so the freight leaves the dock ready for delivery.

Storage and outbound staging

The Kent warehouse holds more than 5,000 pallet positions, racked and floor, for short and long term storage. Inventory stages there until the receiver's window opens, then ships out on the trailer that fits the next leg, coordinated with Long Road's own drayage and over the road fleet.

Those programs live on the warehousing division, while the port-side handling and staging run here with dispatch.
