Evansville sits in Vanderburgh County, served by I-69, I-64 and US-41. The local freight base is plastics, pharmaceuticals, river barge freight, aluminium, 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 Indiana, so a delivered quote to Evansville 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.
