Local picture
What moves through South Bend.
Sits on the Indiana Toll Road, so most freight here is already moving east–west and pallet demand follows the Chicago cycle rather than the Ohio one.
South Bend sits in St. Joseph County, served by I-80/90, US-20 and US-31. The local freight base is automotive components, medical devices, higher education, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
We run our own equipment into Indiana, so a delivered quote to South Bend is a real number rather than a brokered guess. We run our own equipment into this state on a repeating weekly or biweekly pattern, which is what keeps the delivered price competitive.
