Local picture

What moves through Owensboro.

An Ohio River port with aluminium rolling, which is dense freight on small footprints.

Owensboro sits in Daviess County, served by US-60, US-231 and Audubon Pkwy. The local freight base is aluminium, distilling, river freight, 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 Owensboro 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.
