Local picture

What moves through Philadelphia.

Deep local supply and a major port; we compete on specialty footprints and export crating rather than standard stock.

Philadelphia sits in Philadelphia County, served by I-95, I-76, I-476 and I-676. The local freight base is port freight, pharmaceuticals, food distribution, refining, 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 Pennsylvania, so a delivered quote to Philadelphia 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.
