Fast, Coordinated Transfer Between Transport Modes

In today’s logistics landscape, the ability to shift cargo efficiently between ocean, rail, and road transport is essential for staying competitive. Lex Logistics manages the entire transition process with precision—from unloading inbound containers to preparing outbound trailers or domestic shipments.

Mode-to-Mode Transfer with Full Coordination

  • Precision unloading from ocean containers and rail cars
  • Coordinated preparation for outbound truckload shipments
  • Close communication with carriers and dispatch teams
  • Adaptation to shifting schedules and urgent routing needs
  • Minimized delays through proactive load management

This proactive coordination reduces delays, helps reroute freight quickly when needed, and keeps distribution cycles aligned with real-time demand.

Accurate Handling for Diverse Cargo Types

Every shipment requires careful, consistent handling during the transloading process. Our team is trained to manage palletized goods, floor-loaded freight, oversized materials, retail inventory, and temperature-sensitive items.

Precision at Every Transfer Stage

We follow controlled unloading, inspection, and transfer procedures to protect product integrity throughout the switch from one mode of transport to another.

Handled cargo includes:

  • Palletized freight
  • Floor-loaded shipments
  • Oversized and irregular materials
  • Retail inventory requiring careful handling
  • Temperature-sensitive goods

Whether cargo arrives in standard containers, reefers, flatbeds, or box trucks, our handling precision remains the same.

Controlled Unloading and Inspection

We implement detailed inspection steps to verify condition, ensure proper documentation alignment, and prepare freight for the next stage of movement.

Inspection benefits:

  • Reduced risk of product damage
  • Improved accuracy during transfer
  • Better alignment with outbound requirements

These procedures maintain shipment integrity across all modes and destinations.

Value-Added Services That Strengthen Distribution Speed

Transloading is most effective when supported by additional services that reduce labor time for downstream facilities. Lex Logistics integrates several essential steps directly into the process.

  1. 1. Palletization & Re-Palletizing
    We convert floor-loaded cargo into palletized freight or reorganize existing pallets for efficient outbound handling.
  2. 2. Stretch Wrapping & Stabilization
    Pallet loads are stabilized, secured, and wrapped to meet transportation and retail standards.
  3. 3. Sorting & SKU-Level Organization
    Mixed shipments are sorted by SKU, destination, or channel to streamline distribution.
  4. 4. Repacking for Retail Distribution
    We repack goods to meet retail packaging and distribution requirements.
  5. 5. Labeling & Documentation Alignment
    We ensure that all labeling and paperwork match outbound and compliance requirements.
  6. 6. Short-Term Staging for Time-Sensitive Loads
    Freight can be staged briefly to support urgent transfers and coordinated dispatching.

By managing these steps on-site, we reduce handling requirements at customer warehouses and improve downstream performance.

Enhanced Flexibility for Importers and Domestic Distributors

Many companies rely on transloading to optimize container usage, simplify import routing, and support flexible domestic distribution.

Strategic Benefits for Importers

We help customers position freight closer to end markets by shifting cargo from ocean containers into domestic trailers.

  • Faster inland routing
  • Reduced container dwell time
