DELIVERY SOLUTIONS WITH A DIFFERENCE

Cross-Docking at the Crack of Dawn

If servicing Adelaide from interstate on a NEXT DAY basis is important to your business, then we have the solutions to help.

Our cross-dock and distribution solution for interstate customers sees most linehaul unloaded as they arrive in Adelaide at any time of the night, so the freight is available to our fleet for metropolitan delivery first thing in the morning.

This lets us deal with any specific requirements of the receiver as well as reconcile the freight unloaded at the first opportunity, meaning deliveries as a standard are completed by 2pm (including Outer Metro Areas). It also addresses some of the issues that linehaul drivers often have elsewhere of having to queue for the gates to open, while being on a gazetted b-double route is critical to avoiding the need to split trailers.

The Cochrane's cross-dock solution allows interstate shippers to partner with a single provider for all of South Australia, without requiring a fixed cost infrastructure or management challenge. Our significant metropolitan fleet has both the capacity and the vehicle configurations to deal with almost any requirement, and we actively manage any timeslot expectations and reverse logistics that may be entailed.

Testimonials

BJ Ball has been using Cochrane's (formerly Northern Kope) for over 5 years. During that time, BJ Ball worked with Cochrane's to rationalise the number of freight companies used from 6 to 1. BJ Ball now use Cochrane's for all of its regional freight and experiences great customer service.

Whilst Cochrane's has grown over the years, I enjoy the fact that I can still ring a manager and talk to them straight away. I know that our logistics team get very good service, the invoices are always accurate, and any customer issues are dealt with quickly and professionally.
