Short Term Storage
Short term storage for freight that needs somewhere to wait
Flexible holding space for freight between legs, while waiting on an appointment, a truck or a corrected shipment.
How it helps
Sometimes freight is ready before the next step is. A delivery appointment moves, a truck falls through, or a rework job is waiting on instructions. Short-term storage gives pallets a place to wait, without tying you into a long warehouse contract, and keeps them close to the docks for the next move.

FAQs
Short Term Storage questions
How short is short term?
It depends on the freight and available space. Tell us how long you expect to need storage, and we will confirm what is possible.
Can freight be reworked while it is stored?
Yes. Storage is often combined with pallet rework or transloading, so freight can be fixed and held until it is ready to go.
What can't you store?
Tell us exactly what the freight is when you ask for a quote. Hazardous, temperature-controlled or high-value freight must be discussed first, and may not be something we can take.
