What Arkansas makes and ships

Arkansas at a glance

Arkansas freight rides I-40 from Fort Smith through Little Rock to West Memphis, and I-49 up through the northwest corner. Poultry plants, Grand Prairie rice mills, Mississippi County steel and a dense ring of vendor offices around Bentonville keep its docks busy.

Arkansas mixes farm processing with heavy industry. Springdale built its name on chicken, and the state's farms raise poultry, rice, soybeans, cotton and cattle. Stuttgart, on the Grand Prairie, is home to two farmer-owned rice milling cooperatives, and Arkansas typically grows more than half of the U.S. long-grain rice crop. Fort Smith plants make HVAC equipment, snack foods, pet food and paper packaging. Up the Mississippi, steel mills near Blytheville and Osceola rank Mississippi County among the top steel-producing counties in the country.

Each of those sectors handles pallets its own way. Poultry and rice plants ship cases and bags to grocery and food-service DCs with strict pallet specs. Northwest Arkansas vendors work under big-box receiving rules, where a broken board or overhanging case can get a load turned away. Steel, HVAC and parts plants need heavy-duty decks and odd footprints. Trucking firms based in Fort Smith and the northwest corner haul much of it, and West Memphis, where I-40 meets I-55, has long been a trucking crossroads.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-40 crosses the state from Fort Smith through Little Rock to West Memphis, where it meets I-55 at the Mississippi River bridges into Memphis. I-30 runs southwest from Little Rock to Texarkana and Dallas, and I-49 links Fort Smith with Fayetteville, Springdale and Bentonville. The McClellan–Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System carries barges past the Port of Little Rock, an intermodal river port with a large industrial park, and the Port of Fort Smith. Rail lines and air cargo in Memphis sit just across the river from West Memphis.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Arkansas.

Northwest Arkansas vendors shipping to big-box DCs should order Grade A or AAA 48x40s with every board intact, since overhang or a broken board can get a load refused. Poultry processors moving product into blast freezers do better on new pallets or tight AAA. Rice mills and dry warehouses in the Delta can run Grade B under heavy bags if the decks are full. Steel and HVAC shippers in Mississippi County and Fort Smith should look at block pallets or custom sizes. Export loads need HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp.

Cities and rules in Arkansas

Buying pallets in Arkansas: questions

What pallet do Bentonville-area retail DCs expect from vendors?+
Plan on Grade A or AAA 48x40s with four-way entry and no broken or missing boards. Retailers set their own routing and pallet rules, so send us the vendor guide page you work from and your account manager will confirm the grade spec in writing before the load is built.
Can you deliver to poultry plants in Springdale and the Arkansas River Valley?+
Yes. We deliver to processing plants and cold-storage docks in Springdale, Rogers and towns along the Arkansas River Valley. Tell us whether the pallets go into blast freezers or coolers, and your account manager will match new or AAA stock and put it on the quote.
Do Stuttgart rice mills need a special pallet for bagged rice?+
Bagged rice is heavy and dense, so full-coverage top decks matter more than looks. Grade B often works for warehouse storage, while retail-bound loads usually need Grade A. Give us bag size, stack height and the receiver, and your account manager sets the spec in writing.
Can you deliver to cross-docks near the I-40 and I-55 junction in West Memphis?+
Yes. West Memphis truck terminals and cross-docks are in our delivery area, as are warehouses across the river around Memphis. Send the dock address and appointment rules, and your account manager will confirm the load and pallet grade.
Where can I buy pallets in Arkansas?+
From us, by the full truckload: 616 recycled 48x40s per truck, or 520 block pallets. Call (470) 206-3352 or book a test load.
What do pallets cost delivered to Arkansas?+
Full-truckload prices run from $4.75 a pallet for Grade B to $10.50 for AAA, freight included. Heat-treated adds $1.00–$1.50 per pallet.
When will a load reach Arkansas?+
Your delivery date is on the quote, in writing, before you send a PO. Standard 48x40s often arrive in 0–2 business days. New and custom builds take longer.
