Local picture

What moves through Sioux City.

Meat processing means wash-down zones, and wash-down zones mean plastic rather than wood in the critical areas.

Sioux City sits in Woodbury County, served by I-29, US-20 and US-75. The local freight base is meat processing, agriculture, rail, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 610 miles, Sioux City is outside the range where hauling routine stock from Ohio makes economic sense. What does travel is specification: engineered builds, export crating and program design, where the value sits in the drawing rather than in the wood.

Questions

Pallets in Sioux City.

Can you deliver pallets to Sioux City?

Reachable on project freight and through our sourcing network. For routine weekly supply, a yard closer to you will almost certainly beat us on delivered cost, and we will say so. Sioux City is about 610 road miles from our yard, about 9 hours 30 minutes.

Do you collect used pallets from Sioux City?

Collection at this distance only works on volume — a full trailer of sorted cores, or a program arrangement. For smaller quantities a regional recycler is the right call. See sell your pallets.

What do pallets cost in Sioux City?

Recycled 48×40 GMA has run roughly $7.50 to $12.00 for Grade A and $5.00 to $8.50 for Grade B in our home market, before freight. Delivered pricing to Sioux City depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.

What is the local industry mix?

Meat processing, Agriculture, Rail. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
