Midwest · Scheduled contract freight

Pallets in Wisconsin, 445 miles from our gate.

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.

What ships here

Wisconsin, in freight terms.

Wisconsin is a paper state before it is anything else. The Fox River valley between Appleton and Green Bay holds one of the largest concentrations of paper and converting capacity in North America, and converted paper moves on pallets in very large volumes with very specific requirements — flat decks, no protruding fasteners, and consistent height for automated wrapping.

Dairy and food processing add a second demand curve with a different specification again: clean, dry, odour-free stock with documented handling, and in the cold-chain segment a preference for plastic in wash-down zones that we do not argue with.

We serve Wisconsin on scheduled contract freight rather than our own trailers. That works well for full loads and program volume and works badly for anything under a partial trailer, which we will tell you before quoting.

Local economy

Paper and packaging, dairy and food processing, industrial machinery and one of the densest brewing and beverage clusters in the country.

What we send there

48×40 GMA Grade A for food and paper, flat-deck and panel units for converting lines, plastic where wash-down is specified.

Questions

Buying pallets in Wisconsin.

Do you deliver to Wisconsin?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.

What is the minimum order into Wisconsin?

A full trailer, roughly 330 units, for the freight to make sense. Below that, buy locally — you will be better off.

What footprints move most in Wisconsin?

48×40 GMA Grade A for food and paper, flat-deck and panel units for converting lines, plastic where wash-down is specified.

Can you quote a custom build here?

Yes, anywhere. Custom and engineered work is quoted from a drawing and shipped as project freight, and the distance economics are completely different from routine stock. See custom builds.
