Import and International Freight Handled From Arrival to Delivery
Imported freight often arrives in one large shipment that has to be broken down, sorted, and delivered to several destinations. Delays at that handoff hold up inventory that is already paid for. Adcom Worldwide, based in Tampa for more than 40 years, receives and deconsolidates imports at its Tampa cross dock, moves freight by air worldwide, and delivers by truck across the country.

How quickly can imports move on to their destination?
Timing depends on arrival and destination. Cross docking is available 24/7 by appointment to keep dwell time short.
