Eau Claire sits in Eau Claire County, served by I-94, US-53 and US-12. The local freight base is food processing, healthcare, manufacturing, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Eau Claire is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 445 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.

Questions

Pallets in Eau Claire.

Can you deliver pallets to Eau Claire?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Eau Claire is about 445 road miles from our yard, about 7 hours to milwaukee.

Do you collect used pallets from Eau Claire?

Collection at this distance only works on volume — a full trailer of sorted cores, or a program arrangement. For smaller quantities a regional recycler is the right call. See sell your pallets.

Recycled 48×40 GMA has run roughly $7.50 to $12.00 for Grade A and $5.00 to $8.50 for Grade B in our home market, before freight. Delivered pricing to Eau Claire depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.
