You have (5) 40’ Shipping Containers that are coming into Port Baltimore Every Wednesday as clock work. Your Warehouse is located in Rocky Mount, NC

Hours:
ANSWER - TARIQ ROBINSON
If I have a contract that states 5 Shipping containers Weekly and it is ongoing. I need to know these 12 things before any confirmation from my part is agreed. I must be able handle ($1,250,000.00 gross commodity weekly offloaded and palletized and then shipped in a 500 miles radius of Rocky Mount. a freight forwarding import shipment into my cross dock warehouse and then shipped to receiver
I need to have all these questions answered before agreeing to a contract
Which Clients will be under cross dock Warehouse? (Cross dock you do not store goods, Once received you label and distribute to clients as fast as possible)?
ANSWER BY - TARIQ ROBINSON
That is a good question, so let me go deeper to explain your business set up. What another client says or describe as cross dock may not be cross dock. Ok
Say you work for the urban enterprise in a major city with retail shops. They sell Jordans, New Balance, Reeboks products. The store itself is 7,000 sq. feet and a storage room of 1,500 square feet. Now it is winter time going to spring. They expect a big spring sale.
Now Home Depot, Walmart, Target they all have Distributions centers of all the items they sell and it is a warehouse for the stores. Now is that a cross dock scenario? It could be if the truck is in and drop it load at Home Depot Distribution Center and going out to the store the next day. Now do you see what a cross dock warehouse is.
Now if you are a small business owner without space to house your goods. You inventory is low but you can’t house everything you sell in the back. So you need someone to be a distribution to your business. You need them to regulate your space and your inventory. If they are big they don’t need someone to do that. They house their own goods.
Most Cross Dock facilities don’t have the space to keep the goods. So they order what you want and ship it out when it comes in. On the other hand if you are selling a product that wasn’t moving fast in last quarter so you are in demand of this good, now you need a regulator on the goods a Cross dock to help you out.
So I will not have a big chain store as a cross dock supplier. I will have your local gas station, restaurants, corner stores people in that area of the infrastructure.
The cross dock clients are the ones hit with petty theft from the community. What you see on the news the stores being rob is 85% cross dock clients. Now there inventory is in demand and the space to keep the goods is in supply. So you being the store owner calls when you need goods. I have what you need or it is in transit.
Now the educational terms is the goods that can\t be housed in a day to day operation requires a cross dock warehouse.
The logistics chain from sea port uses cross dock. Now do you see Walmart trucks at seaports? Do you see Amazon trucks at seaports? If you do they have the majority of the ship contents going to their distribution centers not the stores.
How big of warehouse space will you need to transload and which stores will be under the transloading contract. (Transloading is delaying delivery to client because of space limitations)
ANSWER BY - TARIQ ROBINSON
In the Moving Industry a 5,000 Square Foot Warehouse will get you certified as an agent. In freight it is more the radius you will work rather than the size. Not saying size doesn’t matter., You don’t put the size first when looking unless you are going to lease unused space.
You are better off starting in the business as an owner operator and learning the business before getting into the warehouse. Let me be more straightforward.
Next once you have obtain all this knowledge. Now You need to price the item twice to get it moved. Let me explain.
So say the good cost $5.00 to make. You are housing it in your warehouse for Whole Foods. Ok the $5.00 to make the item has to include shipping it out to the next stop or plant or processing unit.
Now the $5.00 is now $7.50 per item. Now it was a broker that sold the gods from manufacturer to processing area. The same item is sold again to a broker and sent to distribution center
The item is now $10.00 per item inside your warehouse. Now, Where is your warehousing fit in the logistics chain pricing?
Owner Operator are throwing numbers, Brokers are throwing numbers. You are dumbfounded so you don’t know the rates. So you are moving freight but you are the one saying inflation.
You need to know the brokering side of the business as well as trucking.
So how could I maintain the business? I need to be the entire process from manufacturers to Receivers.
The business is unbalanced. Carriers are saying rates are trash. Brokers are supposed to by law expose carriers their rates of income.
I am not fond of showing my paycheck to anyone. If you do your math as a broker you know what it costs to move the freight.
In the warehouse you must plan ahead and you must be working on tomorrow today. You will not last if you are working on today.
