Direct Store Delivery FAQ
Can you deliver to stores with tight docks?
Equipment is matched to site access during route planning. Share access notes with the store list.
Do you handle pallet exchange or returns?
Pallet handling and returns are set up per program when the routes are designed.
Can DSD combine with cross-docking?
Yes. Inbound freight is commonly cross-docked before it is built into store routes.
