A complete 3PL operation, built around your business
★Lowest price guaranteed — we will beat any written quote
★100% guaranteed acceptance of all reworked loads
★FDA-registered food-grade facility
Store inventory, fulfill orders and prepare freight for retail or distribution through one accountable Raleigh team. Monarch combines flexible and contract warehousing with inventory management, pick and pack, kitting, returns and scheduled outbound shipping.
We design recurring programs for brands, manufacturers, distributors and retailers that need dependable capacity without operating another warehouse. Your procedures, labor schedule, reporting and rates are documented before launch, with room to scale as volume changes.
Urgent cross-dock, transload and guaranteed load rework remain available 24/7, but they are only part of what we do. Most ongoing partnerships combine storage with fulfillment, compliance work, consolidation or planned distribution under one account and monthly invoice.

Start with warehousing or fulfillment
Explore the two core programs built for recurring customers, then add supporting services around your inventory and order flow.
The four operations that happen between your trailer doors opening and closing again. These are same-day, driver-facing services that move freight in, change its configuration, and move it back out.
Cross-Dock Transfer
Inbound trailer to outbound trailer with no storage in between. You get a door number at the guard shack, our crew strips the load onto the floor by outbound lane, and the receiving trailer is loaded, sealed and released the same shift. Seal numbers are recorded on both ends and photographed, so nothing about chain of custody is left to memory.
▸Live unload and live load, or drop-and-hook
▸Average turn time under 90 minutes on booked appointments
▸Seal-to-seal photo record attached to your reference
▸Outbound lane staging by stop, route or store number
▸Hot-shots and expedited same-day transfers
Load Rework & Restacking
When a receiver rejects a load for height, wrap, labeling or pallet condition, we rebuild it instead of sending you home. Freight is broken down, re-stacked to the exact height and pattern the consignee wants, re-wrapped, re-banded and re-labeled, with damaged or non-compliant pallets swapped out for good ones.
▸Height correction and pattern rebuild to receiver spec
▸Machine stretch-wrap, corner boards and banding
▸GS1 / SSCC label reprint and application
▸CHEP, PECO, iGPS and white-wood pallet exchange
▸Short-count and overage reconciliation before you leave
▸Photographed before/after record for the receiver
Transload & Floor Load Conversion
Floor-loaded ocean containers and boxcars converted to palletized dry-van freight, or palletized freight broken down and floor-loaded to squeeze the maximum cube out of an export container. We match the outbound configuration to whatever the next carrier or receiver requires.
▸Container and boxcar devanning
▸Palletize and de-palletize by SKU or by mixed case
▸Cube optimization for export loading
▸Rail-to-truck and truck-to-rail conversion
▸LTL, parcel and final-mile sortation
Freight Inspection & Reporting
Independent count verification and condition reporting before the freight moves on. Every exception is photographed, timestamped and written into a report tied to your reference number so the claim conversation starts with evidence.
▸Piece, case and pallet count verification
▸Damage, moisture and infestation photos
▸Temperature and seal-integrity checks
▸Written exception report for claims
▸Witnessed loading and witnessed unloading
Expand your recurring 3PL program
Everything around the dock: storage, drayage, value-add work, fulfillment, returns and capacity. Mix and match — most customers start with one service and add the rest as volume grows. Every service below can be ordered through the same quote form and tracked under the same MON- reference.
Short-Term & Overflow Warehousing
Racked and floor storage by the pallet, day or month, for freight that needs to sit between legs. No long-term contract required. Use us for seasonal overflow, port delays, receiver appointment pushbacks, or inventory staging before a promotion.
▸Pallet-in / pallet-out billing
▸Racked, bulk and floor space
▸Inventory counts on request
▸FIFO and lot-controlled rotation
▸Cross-dock to warehouse handoff on the same MON- reference
Drayage & Port / Rail Support

▸Port and rail-ramp pulls
▸Chassis and empty return handling
▸Street-turn coordination
▸Per-diem and demurrage monitoring

▸Refurbishment staging
▸Recall and withdrawal support
LTL Consolidation & Deconsolidation

▸Pool distribution
▸Multi-vendor consolidation
▸LTL and parcel handoff
▸Zone skipping and line-haul optimization
▸BOL segregation and manifesting
Yard, Trailer Parking & Drop Lots

▸Daily yard-check reporting
▸Empty and loaded trailer segregation

Freight Brokerage & Capacity

▸Corner board, strapping and banding

Small touches that prevent big problems at the receiver. These are usually added to a dock or storage job, but they can be requested standalone.

Pick, pack, label and ship
What we need to design your program
Share your average and peak pallet count, SKU count, inbound schedule, monthly order volume, order profile and shipping destinations. Include any lot, date-code, food-grade, labeling, packing, retailer or marketplace requirements that shape daily handling.
We use those details to recommend space, labor, receiving windows, inventory controls, service levels and reporting. The result is a written scope and rate structure your team can review before inventory moves.
