Where the trailers go
A day's drive from Columbus, on a schedule you can plan around.
Not sure if we reach you?
Put your ZIP in and we will tell you honestly — including when a yard closer to you is the better buy.
- Written quotes, usually inside one business day
- Loads from 100 pallets to full 53' trailers
- We buy as readily as we sell — tell us which way it flows
Loaded
About 330 units, two high, roughly 15,000 lb in a trailer rated for three times that. Pallet loads cube out long before they gross out.
Pallets are the worst possible freight: cheap, bulky and heavy. A 53-foot trailer of them grosses out at roughly 15,000 lb in a vehicle rated for three times that, which means you are paying to move air over every mile.
That is why distance dominates the delivered price, and why a yard 40 miles away quoting $8.50 a unit almost always beats a yard 300 miles away quoting $7.25. We quote delivered by default so the comparison is honest.
It is also why we are candid about our range. If you are in Missouri, we are probably not your best option, and saying so costs us nothing we were going to win anyway.

Questions
Coverage, answered.
How far will you deliver?
About 350 miles on our own equipment, further on contract carriers. Past roughly 500 miles the freight dominates the quote and we will normally point you at a closer yard.
Can you collect from a site not on a listed lane?
Frequently, yes — the lanes above are the spine, and we add stops along them constantly. Give us the ZIP and the volume and we will tell you what it costs to add you.
Do you charge for delivery?
It is built into the delivered price. We can also quote FOB our yard if you have your own freight — sometimes yours is cheaper and we would rather you used it.
What is the minimum for a delivered load?
Around 260 units — a partial trailer. Below that, freight per unit gets silly. Yard pickup starts at 100.
