Transloading

Transloading is the process of transferring a shipment from one mode of transportation to another, which may or may not include a period of warehousing between the transfers of transportation modes. Goodrich receives Canadian lumber shipped to its facility by truck, either directly or via rail, at a railhead from which the lumber is then trucked to its facility.

Goodrich then unloads the truck and places the product in its warehouse for storage. When the export logistics (container shipping) are arranged, Goodrich then picks up the containers, loads the containers with lumber, and then delivers them to the port. The process of receiving lumber inventory via trucks, unloading the inventory for storage, and then reloading the inventory onto containers for export at ocean ports is Goodrich’s core transloading operation.
