== History == Cross-dock operations were pioneered in the US trucking industry in the 1930s{{cn|date=April 2014}}, and have been in continuous use in [[Less than truckload shipping|less-than-truckload]] operations ever since. The US military began using cross-docking operations in the 1950s. Wal-Mart began using cross-docking in the retail sector in the late 1980s. As of 2014, almost half of all US warehouses are cross-docking. <ref name=":2">Moody, K. (2019). Labour and the contradictory logic of logistics.
