What Baton Rouge makes and ships

Baton Rouge at a glance

Baton Rouge sits at the head of deep-water navigation on the Mississippi, and the Port Allen Lock joins the river to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway across from downtown. I-10, I-12 and three Class I railroads carry freight to plants downriver in Geismar and Plaquemine.

Process industry anchors the capital region. The Greater Baton Rouge Economic Partnership counts more than 21,000 process-industry workers, with chemical complexes at Geismar and Plaquemine and a polyolefins plant in East Baton Rouge whose recent expansion doubled its polypropylene capacity. Across the river, the port's Port Allen docks include terminals for grain, sugar, molasses and coffee, and its container-on-barge network moves more than 20,500 boxes a year. A 3.4-million-square-foot robotic fulfillment center, opened in 2024, added parcel volume.

Pallet demand follows the docks and buildings around those plants. Port Allen's riverfront warehouses move goods among ships, barges, rail cars and trucks. Pipe and steel fabricators ship long, heavy pieces that standard stringers can't carry. Coffee and sugar shippers sell to grocers with exacting receiving rules. The fulfillment center and other DCs take in vendor freight on standard 48x40s. And cargo headed overseas, by ship from the deepwater docks or by container through New Orleans, needs wood stamped under ISPM 15.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-10 crosses the Mississippi on the Horace Wilkinson Bridge between Port Allen and downtown, then splits with I-12, which heads east through Denham Springs and Walker to Hammond and Slidell. I-110 runs north to Scotlandville near Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, and US 190 crosses the river on the Huey P. Long Bridge upstream. Three Class I railroads serve the region. Panamax ships can reach the port's deepwater docks, but Port NOLA, down I-10, is the state's only deep-water container port and the nearest place to put a box on an ocean ship.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Baton Rouge.

Port Allen warehouses and cross-docks usually do fine with recycled Grade B 48x40s. The fulfillment center and grocery-bound coffee or sugar loads call for Grade A, or AAA where a receiver checks every board. Fabrication shops shipping pipe spools and steel parts need block pallets or custom sizes made to the piece. Anything leaving on a ship from the deepwater docks, or in a container through New Orleans, should ride heat-treated (HT) wood bearing the IPPC mark. Your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Baton Rouge: questions

Can you deliver to warehouses at the Port of Greater Baton Rouge in Port Allen?
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to port warehouses and nearby cross-docks in Port Allen and Addis, along with the Inland Rivers Marine Terminal area. Tell us how the freight moves next, by barge, rail or truck, and your account manager spells out grade, size and delivery details on the quote.
What pallet do fabrication shops serving the river plants need?
Pipe spools, valves and structural steel rarely fit a standard 48x40. Most shops do better with block pallets or custom skids sized to the piece, with heavier deckboards and a wide footprint. Send dimensions, weights and how the load is lifted, and your account manager quotes the build in writing.
Do loads trucked to New Orleans for export need heat-treated pallets?
If the cargo is leaving the country, plan on it. ISPM 15 applies to solid-wood packaging in international trade, no matter where the container is stuffed. We source HT pallets marked under ISPM 15 from accredited facilities, and your account manager confirms the stamp and spec.
Do you deliver to Gonzales, Geismar and the rest of Ascension Parish?
Yes. Warehouses, contractors' yards and plant-adjacent docks in Ascension and Iberville parishes get the same truckload delivery as Baton Rouge addresses. If the site requires gate check-in, safety orientation or a fixed appointment, include it with the order so your account manager can put it on the quote.
Where can I buy pallets in Baton Rouge, LA?
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 Baton Rouge, LA?
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 Baton Rouge, LA?
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.
