Local picture

What moves through Davenport.

Quad Cities equipment manufacturing needs engineered platforms for castings and assemblies, not standard footprints.

Davenport sits in Scott County, served by I-80, I-74 and I-280. The local freight base is agricultural equipment, river freight, food processing, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 610 miles, Davenport is outside the range where hauling routine stock from Ohio makes economic sense. What does travel is specification: engineered builds, export crating and program design, where the value sits in the drawing rather than in the wood.

Do you collect used pallets from Davenport?

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 Davenport?
