Local picture
What moves through Gary.
Integrated steel means very heavy concentrated loads and a demand for four-stringer heavy-deck builds rather than anything off the shelf.
Gary sits in Lake County, served by I-80/94, I-65 and I-90. The local freight base is steel, bulk terminals, chemicals, 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 Gary 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.
