Local picture

What moves through Harrisburg.

The I-81/I-76 crossing makes it one of the busiest distribution nodes on the east coast.

Harrisburg sits in Dauphin County, served by I-81, I-83, I-76 and US-11. The local freight base is distribution, state government, food processing, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

We run our own equipment into Pennsylvania, so a delivered quote to Harrisburg is a real number rather than a brokered guess. We run our own equipment into this state on a repeating weekly or biweekly pattern, which is what keeps the delivered price competitive.
