Local picture

What moves through New York City.

The hardest delivery geography in the country; half and quarter formats matter here more than anywhere else.

New York City sits in Five boroughs, served by I-95, I-495, I-278 and I-87. The local freight base is food distribution, retail, port freight, construction, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

New York City is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 320 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.
