Local picture

What moves through Lexington.

The Georgetown assembly complex north of the city runs tight returnable programmes on automotive footprints.

Lexington sits in Fayette County, served by I-64, I-75, US-27 and US-60. The local freight base is automotive assembly, equine industry, manufacturing, 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 Kentucky, so a delivered quote to Lexington 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.
