Yes, including Walmart and Costco. Retail DCs don’t forgive errors on staging and labelling, so we treat the spec as the job.

Flexible and Tailored Solutions
Built around your program, not ours
Every client’s freight moves differently. Some need a container de-stuffed and back on the road the same day, others need product held for weeks and released against retail orders. We build the handling around what your program actually requires rather than forcing it into a fixed service tier — which is why we work as either standalone Western Canada capacity or as overflow alongside an arrangement you already have.
That flexibility extends to the product itself. Our facility runs three separately controlled coolers plus a dedicated freezer across 37,000 sqft of cold storage, so chilled fruits at 0–1 °C, vegetables at 10–13 °C, and IQF product at −18 °C can all move through the same building on the same day. Tell us the temperature your program specifies and we hold to it.
Strategic Location
Positioned between the ports and the border
Our Pitt Meadows facility sits at the centre of Metro Vancouver’s freight network. Drayage from the Port of Vancouver’s Vanterm and Centerm terminals runs 45–55 minutes under normal traffic, Deltaport at Roberts Bank is 60–75 minutes, and the Fraser Valley border crossings are 40 minutes away — which makes us practical for both import containers and cross-border truckload freight.
High-volume expertise & DC Compliance
High-volume freight, handled to retail DC standard
Retail distribution centres do not forgive errors on staging and shipping, and a rejected load is expensive for everyone in the chain. We build and stage orders to each retailer’s stated specification, including Walmart and Costco, across a broad range of commodities — fresh fruits and vegetables, IQF fruit and vegetables, and dry packaged goods.
Compliance is the foundation underneath that. Product is temperature-checked and QC’d at receiving, held under continuous monitoring, and verified again at loading, with pulp temperatures and trailer conditions documented on both ends.Â
West Cross Docking provides reliable 3PL solutions across Canada—from cross-docking and cold storage to palletization and transport—ensuring your cargo moves safely and on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you food safety certified?
Yes — SQF certified CFIA certified.
How do clients know what products are at your facility?
Everything is tracked in our own warehouse management system. Our clients will receive a QC report on every inbound load before end of day, and inventory updates daily.
How do you document the cold chain?
Pulp temperatures and trailer conditions are recorded at receiving and again at loading, with continuous monitoring in between.Â
Can you build orders to retail DC specification?
What happens if a load fails QC on arrival?
We tell you immediately and wait for your instructions. If it’s worth re-grading, our team works through it carton by carton to separate what still meets spec — but nothing gets dispositioned without your say-so.
