Local picture

What moves through Topeka.

A BNSF rail town on I-70, which makes it a sensible consolidation point for anything moving further west.

Topeka sits in Shawnee County, served by I-70, I-335 and US-75. The local freight base is food manufacturing, rail, state government, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 690 miles, Topeka 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 Topeka.

Can you deliver pallets to Topeka?

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. Topeka is about 690 road miles from our yard, about 10 hours 30 minutes.

Do you collect used pallets from Topeka?

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 Topeka?

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 Topeka depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.

What is the local industry mix?

Food manufacturing, Rail, State government. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
