Local picture

What moves through Aberdeen.

Grain and food processing with a steep autumn peak, like most of the northern plains.

Aberdeen sits in Brown County, served by US-12, US-281 and SD-20. The local freight base is agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 850 miles, Aberdeen 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 Aberdeen.

Can you deliver pallets to Aberdeen?

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. Aberdeen is about 850 road miles from our yard, about 13 hours.

Do you collect used pallets from Aberdeen?

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 Aberdeen?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Agriculture, Food processing, Manufacturing. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
