Local picture

What moves through Lansing.

Assembly plants here run tight returnable programmes, so demand is for fleet maintenance rather than new purchases.

Lansing sits in Ingham County, served by I-96, I-69, I-496 and US-127. The local freight base is automotive assembly, state government, insurance, 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 Lansing 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.
