Dedicated Crews for High-Volume Regional Distribution Centers

Capacity for High-Volume Distribution

High-volume facilities need more than a last-minute labor call. CLS helps distribution centers plan dependable crews around recurring inbound schedules, container volume, dock flow, and site operating requirements.

Our goal is consistent execution across the workweek: keep floor-loaded containers moving, protect receiving throughput, and give operations leaders a dependable labor partner for sustained volume.

Distribution Center Labor Coverage

• Dedicated crews for recurring daily or weekly schedules
• Floor-loaded container and trailer unloading
• Palletizing, sorting, staging, and freight breakdown
• Cross-dock and transfer labor for time-sensitive handoffs
• Trailer loading, restacking, and overflow dock support
• Scalable coverage for peak periods and multi-container days

Managed Around Your Operating Rhythm

Recurring warehouse labor works best when the crew is managed around the operation, not treated as a series of unrelated staffing requests. CLS works with warehouse and transportation teams to understand arrival windows, freight mix, dock constraints, equipment requirements, and the service level needed to keep work moving.

For long-term programs, CLS can align crew planning to recurring daily or weekly volume, coordinate onsite execution, and maintain consistent communication with facility leadership.

Operational Visibility

CLS uses digital timekeeping and operational records to support clear accountability. Depending on the program, reporting can include crew time, load or container records, completion information, exceptions, and supporting billing documentation.

This gives warehouse teams a clearer record of what was performed without requiring facility supervisors to reconstruct labor activity after the shift.

Flexible Commercial Structure

Recurring programs can be scoped around the work being performed. Depending on freight profile and operating requirements, CLS may structure pricing by container, case, pallet, project, or labor hour. Defined production scopes can also support fixed or production-based pricing for better cost visibility.

• Regional distribution centers with steady inbound container volume
• 3PL providers supporting multiple customer programs
