What Albuquerque makes and ships

Albuquerque at a glance

Albuquerque is New Mexico's crossroads. I-25 and I-40 meet at the Big I, a rail main line runs down the Rio Grande valley to the division yard at Belen, and the warehouses, fab suppliers and food plants between them restock a big, thinly settled state.

Albuquerque carries about half of New Mexico's economic activity. Kirtland Air Force Base, the University of New Mexico and Sandia National Laboratories top the employer list, and a large semiconductor fab operates in neighboring Rio Rancho. Factories in the city make electric equipment, food products, and stone, glass and clay goods, and a plastic-pipe maker took over a former solar factory at Mesa del Sol, beside the Sunport. Mexico takes about three-fifths of the state's exports, and computer parts and processors lead the export list. The valley around the city grows chile and wine grapes.

That makes Albuquerque a distribution town as much as a factory town. Warehouses around the city restock stores across a large rural state and cycle standard 48x40s constantly. Fab suppliers and electronics shippers care about pallets that protect delicate freight and pass export inspection, since so much of the state's output heads south. Chile roasters and food plants add a late-summer rush when the green crop comes in, and Valencia County's industrial parks add demand to the south.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-40, the city's main east–west artery and a transcontinental route, crosses I-25 at the Big I just northeast of downtown, and US 550 splits off I-25 in Bernalillo. A transcontinental rail main line runs through the Belen yard, 35 miles south, where about 110 trains a day pass; inside the city the railroad keeps only a small yard. The Sunport has a freight center and air-cargo ramp and shares runways with Kirtland. Exporters reach Mexico through the Santa Teresa port of entry, which has commercial lanes into Chihuahua.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Albuquerque.

Warehouses around the Big I can run recycled GMA-style 48x40s, the partial four-way stringer design: Grade A for loads going to retail receivers, Grade B for floor storage and moves between buildings. Fab suppliers and electronics shippers should ask for new or AAA pallets. Freight crossing into Chihuahua at Santa Teresa should ride HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15, since Mexico generally applies the standard; a customs broker confirms the current rule. Chile and food plants want sound decks for coolers. Your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Albuquerque: questions

Can you deliver to warehouses near the Big I and out along I-40?+
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to docks around the I-25/I-40 interchange, on the west side off I-40 and up the I-25 corridor. Send your dock hours and appointment rules with the order, and your account manager puts the grade spec and delivery details on the quote.
Do Albuquerque shipments headed to Chihuahua need heat-treated pallets?+
Generally, yes. Mexico's wood-packaging rules generally follow ISPM 15, and Mexico buys most of New Mexico's exports, so order HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp and keep the mark visible. Ask your customs broker to confirm the current rule before the load heads south to Santa Teresa.
Do you deliver south to Los Lunas and Belen?+
Yes. Valencia County's industrial sites off I-25 are part of our Albuquerque coverage. Give us the full street address, since some sites sit well off the interstate, and your account manager confirms the delivery details before the truck is booked.
Does chile season change what food plants should order?+
It mostly changes how many. Green chile comes in from July into October, so roasters and processors often book extra pallets before August. Cooler and freezer rooms are hard on worn boards, so many choose new or AAA recycled stock with tight decks.
Where can I buy pallets in Albuquerque, NM?+
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 Albuquerque, NM?+
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 Albuquerque, NM?+
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.
