Local picture

What moves through Flint.

Casting operations mean dense concentrated loads on small footprints, which is a racked-capacity problem rather than a footprint one.

Flint sits in Genesee County, served by I-69, I-75 and I-475. The local freight base is automotive components, metal casting, healthcare, 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 Michigan, so a delivered quote to Flint 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.
