The company said the Phoenix facility is supported with power conveyors, state-of-the-art security and excellent highway access, and is positioned to provide a full range of cross-dock capabilities to customers in this market, including distribution, consolidation, import deconsolidation and flow-through order fulfillment.

USF Logistics' expansion to Phoenix is part of its plan to establish cross-dock solutions in major North American markets. The company's goal is to provide direct coverage to 75% of the major market population within the next three years.
