The short answer

What is Opendock?

Opendock is an online dock-scheduling platform that lets carriers book warehouse appointments in real time. Many Taylor Logistics facilities schedule through it, though not every location does, and where they do, you self-schedule your own dock time instead of calling or emailing back and forth.

No account? It's quick to make one.

If you don't have an Opendock account yet, just sign up as a carrier at schedule.opendock.com, and that's all it takes to start booking at our docks.

Most important step

Pick the RIGHT facility.

Searching "Taylor Logistics" returns hundreds of results. Match the exact facility name AND street address before you book. The wrong dock means a wasted trip and a cancelled appointment.
