Local picture

What moves through St. Louis.

The chemical corridor south of the city runs on square drum footprints, which is where we tend to be competitive at this distance.

St. Louis sits in St. Louis City / County, served by I-70, I-44, I-55, I-64 and I-270. The local freight base is chemicals, food processing, river freight, aerospace, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

St. Louis is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 420 miles away. That works for full trailer loads and program volume; for a few hundred units, a local yard will beat us and we will say so.

Do you collect used pallets from St. Louis?

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.
