What is Short-Term and Long-Term Storage for Freight?

Short-term storage holds freight for a limited time—usually a few days to a few weeks. It’s used to manage delays, cross-docking gaps, or overflow during peak demand. This option provides quick access and fast turnover, ideal for shipments that are in transit or awaiting final delivery.

Long-term storage is for freight that needs to stay in place for several weeks or months. It supports extended holding needs without tying up warehouse space at your facility. It’s helpful for seasonal inventory, slow-moving products, or freight awaiting future distribution.
