Midwest · Scheduled contract freight

Pallets in Missouri, 420 miles from our gate.

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.

What ships here

Missouri, in freight terms.

Missouri is a straight run west on I-70 and the state is, in freight terms, two separate markets connected by that highway. St. Louis at the eastern end is a river, rail and chemical town. Kansas City at the western end is one of the largest rail hubs in the country and a major food and agricultural distribution centre.

We reach St. Louis economically on scheduled contract freight for full loads. Kansas City is at the edge of what makes sense, and for routine supply there we will generally point you west rather than quote a number that only works on paper.

Chemical and agricultural processing along the river corridor drives demand for heavier deck construction and square drum footprints, which is stock we hold and many general recyclers do not.

Local economy

Transportation equipment, food processing, chemicals, and two major distribution hubs at opposite ends of I-70.

What we send there

48×48 and 42×42 drum stock for the chemical corridor, 48×40 GMA for distribution, custom heavy-deck builds.

How we serve it

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.

Questions

Buying pallets in Missouri.

Do you deliver to Missouri?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.

What is the minimum order into Missouri?

A full trailer, roughly 330 units, for the freight to make sense. Below that, buy locally — you will be better off.

What footprints move most in Missouri?

48×48 and 42×42 drum stock for the chemical corridor, 48×40 GMA for distribution, custom heavy-deck builds.

Can you quote a custom build here?

Yes, anywhere. Custom and engineered work is quoted from a drawing and shipped as project freight, and the distance economics are completely different from routine stock. See custom builds.
