what is dock to dock freight
Dock to dock freight is the least expensive delivery and refers to your receiving area having a “dock high” area, where the truck backs up, unloads directly from the trailer straight across to your dock. You or your designated shipping staff will then take the product to the end user.
If you do not have a dock, you may need to order a truck with lift gate service.
