Local picture
What moves through Kansas City.
One of the largest rail hubs in the country; local supply is deep and usually beats us on delivered cost.
Kansas City sits in Jackson County, served by I-70, I-35, I-435 and I-635. The local freight base is rail intermodal, food distribution, automotive assembly, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
Kansas City is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 420 miles away. That works for full trailer loads and program volume; for a few hundred units, a local yard will beat us and we will say so.
