Local picture
What moves through Duluth.
A Great Lakes bulk port; forest products here mean local softwood supply is cheap and abundant.
Duluth sits in St. Louis County, served by I-35, US-53 and US-2. The local freight base is great lakes port, iron ore, forest products, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
At roughly 745 miles, Duluth 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.

Can you deliver pallets to Duluth?
Reachable on project freight and through our sourcing network. For routine weekly supply, a yard closer to you will almost certainly beat us on delivered cost, and we will say so. Duluth is about 745 road miles from our yard, about 11 hours 30 minutes.
Do you collect used pallets from Duluth?
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.
