Local picture

What moves through Saint Paul.

Mississippi barge terminals here still move bulk agricultural freight, which uses expendable platforms rather than returnable ones.

Saint Paul sits in Ramsey County, served by I-94, I-35E, I-694 and US-52. The local freight base is manufacturing, river freight, state government, 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, Saint Paul 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.

Questions

Pallets in Saint Paul.

Can you deliver pallets to Saint Paul?

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. Saint Paul is about 745 road miles from our yard, about 11 hours 30 minutes.

Do you collect used pallets from Saint Paul?

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 Saint Paul?

Recycled 48×40 GMA has run roughly $7.50 to $12.00 for Grade A and $5.00 to $8.50 for Grade B in our home market, before freight. Delivered pricing to Saint Paul depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.

What is the local industry mix?

Manufacturing, River freight, State government. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
