What Baltimore makes and ships

Baltimore at a glance

Baltimore's freight starts at the harbor: containers at Seagirt, autos and roll-on equipment at Dundalk, forest products at Locust Point. Since the Key Bridge fell in 2024, trucks cross the harbor through the I-95 and I-895 tunnels while the replacement goes up.

The Port of Baltimore ranked first in the U.S. in 2025 for roll-on/roll-off farm and construction equipment and for forest products, according to the governor's office, and second for autos, coal exports and sugar imports. Seagirt Marine Terminal works containers, Dundalk handles autos, roll-on cargo, breakbulk and containers, and Locust Point takes pulp, lumber, paper and steel. Coal leaves from a terminal in Curtis Bay. Inland, the Maryland Food Center in Jessup hosts the state's wholesale produce market and a cluster of seafood dealers.

Port work shapes pallet demand. Breakbulk, paper and equipment cargo needs block pallets and custom skids, and anything stuffed for export needs treated lumber. Warehouses in the BWI corridor around Elkridge, Jessup and Hanover, and up I-95 through White Marsh, Perryman and Perryville, cycle standard 48x40s for retail and e-commerce freight. The Jessup markets add cold docks that need sound, dry wood. Until the new Key Bridge opens, runs between Dundalk and the harbor's south side take longer, so precise dock details help.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-95 crosses the harbor through the Fort McHenry Tunnel and I-895 through the Harbor Tunnel. The Key Bridge once carried I-695 over the outer harbor, and MDTA aims to open its replacement by 2030. I-83 runs north toward York, I-70 west to Frederick and I-97 to Annapolis. Since June 2026, the rebuilt Howard Street Tunnel lets double-stack container trains reach the port, and a new container terminal broke ground at Sparrows Point in May 2026 and is slated for completion in 2030. BWI Marshall adds air cargo.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Baltimore.

Port-side shippers should keep two pallet types on order: recycled GMA-style 48x40s for consumer freight, and block pallets or custom skids in new lumber for breakbulk, paper and equipment. Export containers loading at Seagirt or Dundalk need HT pallets bearing the IPPC mark from ALSC-accredited facilities. Jessup produce and seafood docks do better with AAA or new pallets that stay square in coolers. Warehouses near BWI and along I-95 usually send retail freight out on Grade A and keep Grade B for moves inside the building.

Buying pallets in Baltimore: questions

How does the Key Bridge closure affect pallet deliveries to Dundalk and Sparrows Point?+
The Key Bridge carried I-695 across the outer harbor until it collapsed in March 2024, and MDTA aims to open the replacement by 2030. Until then, trucks reach Dundalk, Sparrows Point and Curtis Bay through the harbor tunnels or around the Beltway's west side. Give your account manager your exact dock address so the route is planned correctly.
Do Baltimore exporters loading at Seagirt or Dundalk need heat-treated pallets?+
Yes, if the freight rides on wood. Most trading partners enforce ISPM 15 on wood packaging, so order HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp and keep the mark visible. Breakbulk and project cargo often moves on custom skids, and those need the same treatment when they leave the country.
Can you deliver to the wholesale produce and seafood markets in Jessup?+
Yes. We deliver truckloads to wholesalers and distributors at and around the Maryland Food Center in Jessup. The produce market trades overnight, so share your gate rules and receiving times, and your account manager confirms the grade spec and delivery appointment in writing before booking.
What pallet suits the distribution centers from White Marsh to Perryville?+
These buildings mostly ship on recycled GMA-style 48x40 stringers, a partial four-way design that standard pallet jacks handle. Retail customers often require Grade A at their doors, while Grade B is fine for storage. Pallet grades differ from yard to yard, so your grade definition gets written into the order.
Where can I buy pallets in Baltimore, MD?+
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 Baltimore, MD?+
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 Baltimore, MD?+
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.
