Local picture

What moves through Milwaukee.

Brewing runs high-volume returnable programmes, so the interesting work here is fleet management rather than one-way supply.

Milwaukee sits in Milwaukee County, served by I-94, I-43, I-41 and I-894. The local freight base is industrial machinery, brewing and beverage, food processing, port freight, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Milwaukee is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 445 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.

Questions

Pallets in Milwaukee.

Can you deliver pallets to Milwaukee?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Milwaukee is about 445 road miles from our yard, about 7 hours to milwaukee.

Do you collect used pallets from Milwaukee?

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 Milwaukee?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Industrial machinery, Brewing and beverage, Food processing, Port freight. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
