Local picture

What moves through Baton Rouge.

The petrochemical corridor runs on drum footprints and strict segregation of returns.

Baton Rouge sits in East Baton Rouge Parish, served by I-10, I-12, I-110 and US-61. The local freight base is petrochemicals, refining, river freight, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 920 miles, Baton Rouge 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 Baton Rouge.

Can you deliver pallets to Baton Rouge?

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. Baton Rouge is about 920 road miles from our yard, about 14 hours 30 minutes.

Do you collect used pallets from Baton Rouge?

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 Baton Rouge?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Petrochemicals, Refining, River freight. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
