Local picture
What moves through Rockford.
A growing air cargo hub, which brings ISPM-15 questions with it more often than the rest of the state.
Rockford sits in Winnebago County, served by I-90, I-39 and US-20. The local freight base is aerospace components, machine tools, air cargo, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
Rockford is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 355 miles away. That works for full trailer loads and program volume; for a few hundred units, a local yard will beat us and we will say so.
