South · Scheduled contract freight

Pallets in Tennessee, 385 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.

Recycling yard with a steel bin full of broken pallet wood, a grinder conveyor, stacks of pallets and a forklift beyond — The last four per centEverything the sort deck rejected, on its way to the grinder. It leaves as mulch, bedding and boiler fibre — not as landfill.

What ships here

Tennessee, in freight terms.

Tennessee is a distribution state at national scale. Memphis holds the FedEx superhub and one of the largest air cargo operations on earth; Nashville has become one of the fastest-growing warehouse markets in the country; and Chattanooga and Knoxville sit on the I-75 corridor that carries most Midwest-to-Southeast freight.

For pallets that means deep local supply and serious competition. We reach the state economically on scheduled contract carriers for full loads and program volume, and we will say plainly that spot orders of a few hundred units are better bought locally.

Air cargo out of Memphis brings ISPM-15 into the conversation more often than in most inland markets, and it is where we most frequently see compliance broken by an untreated repair rather than by a missing stamp.

Local economy

The FedEx superhub at Memphis, automotive assembly, healthcare distribution, music and consumer goods, and one of the fastest-growing warehouse markets in the country.

What we send there

Heat-treated export stock for air cargo lanes, 48×40 GMA for program volume, automotive footprints for the assembly corridor.

Questions

Buying pallets in Tennessee.

Do you deliver to Tennessee?

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 Tennessee?

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 Tennessee?

Heat-treated export stock for air cargo lanes, 48×40 GMA for program volume, automotive footprints for the assembly corridor.

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.
