Local picture

What moves through Omaha.

The largest freight market in the state and the only one where a full trailer from Ohio is ever discussed seriously.

Omaha sits in Douglas County, served by I-80, I-29, I-480 and US-75. The local freight base is food processing, rail, data centres, insurance, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 720 miles, Omaha 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 Omaha.

Can you deliver pallets to Omaha?

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. Omaha is about 720 road miles from our yard, about 11 hours.

Do you collect used pallets from Omaha?

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 Omaha?

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 Omaha depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.

What is the local industry mix?

Food processing, Rail, Data centres, Insurance. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
