Local picture

What moves through Springfield.

Sits on I-55 roughly halfway between St. Louis and Chicago, which makes it a sensible consolidation stop on a downstate run.

Springfield sits in Sangamon County, served by I-55, I-72 and I-155. The local freight base is state government, healthcare, agriculture, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Springfield is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 355 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 Springfield.

Can you deliver pallets to Springfield?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Springfield is about 355 road miles from our yard, about 5 hours 30 minutes to chicago.

Do you collect used pallets from Springfield?

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.

What do pallets cost in Springfield?

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 Springfield depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.

What is the local industry mix?

State government, Healthcare, Agriculture. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
