Restocking and Reworking Loads: Interstate Cold Storage

Warehouses have traditionally supported the carrier market by taking in loads for short-term storage (due to a missed inbound appointment elsewhere), restacking shifted loads, and cross-docking products where a driver is running out of hours and another driver will complete the route. However, these services became more challenging to perform in recent years.

Restocking and Reworking Loads

Between shippers releasing drivers later than forecasted, more drivers running out of hours, and many receivers tightening up their accepted delivery windows. The covid pandemic strained the carrier market performance as well as warehousing support for drivers with stranded or shifted loads.

Interstate Cold Storage gets many requests for restocking and reworking loads weekly, and we do our best to support the drivers and carrier market where we can. But this year has been very robust in Q2 for inbound deliveries- often with no open times on the schedule to re-workloads. Our team does a great job in communicating the need, as well as looping in other facilities that might have the capacity to assist. We believe the market will eventually recover, and we want to continue our support of truckers as it wholistically assists the entire supply chain.
