Local picture
What moves through Waterloo.
Equipment components are among the most concentrated loads in agriculture and routinely exceed standard racked ratings.
Waterloo sits in Black Hawk County, served by US-20, US-63 and I-380. The local freight base is agricultural equipment, meat processing, manufacturing, 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, Waterloo 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.
