What Chattanooga makes and ships

Chattanooga at a glance

Chattanooga is where I-75, I-24 and I-59 converge just above the Georgia line. Rail yards sit east and southwest of downtown, a car plant fills part of Enterprise South, and carpet mills in Dalton and a Collegedale bakery ship down the same interstates.

Chattanooga grew up as a railroad town and still moves like one. Two Class I railroads run yards here, and several truckload carriers keep headquarters in the city. Enterprise South, a 6,000-acre park on the site of a former Army ammunition plant, has built cars since 2011, and e-commerce operators run buildings around town. A family-run snack-cake bakery is headquartered in Collegedale. Across the state line, Dalton is often called the Carpet Capital of the World, and up I-75, Cleveland makes cooking appliances, packaged foods and batteries.

That puts very different docks within an hour's drive of each other. Bakery and food plants need tidy 48x40s that stay flat under stacked cases. Flooring mills move rolls and heavy cartons that crush weak stringers. Appliance and battery plants and the auto supplier base buy block pallets and custom sizes to a customer print. Carrier terminals and distribution buildings cycle recycled stringers constantly. For ocean freight, a rail-served inland port at Chatsworth, Ga., ties the area to Savannah.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-75 runs from Atlanta through Chattanooga to Knoxville. I-24 cuts through the city toward Nashville and ends at the I-75 split, and I-59 begins about 10 miles southwest of downtown and heads to Birmingham. US 27 runs north as a freeway toward Soddy-Daisy. DeButts Yard, a main classification yard, sits just east of downtown, with Shipp's and Wauhatchie yards to the southwest. The Tennessee River runs through the city behind Chickamauga Dam. For ocean freight, the Appalachian Regional Port at Chatsworth, Ga., opened in 2018, rails containers 388 miles to Savannah.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Chattanooga.

Bakery and food plants should order Grade A or AAA 48x40s, or new, so cases sit flat and nothing snags film wrap. Flooring mills need heavier builds: block pallets, extra stringers or custom lengths for rolls. Appliance, battery and auto-parts plants usually work from a customer drawing, often block. Carrier terminals and DCs run Grade B for internal moves and Grade A on customer loads. Export containers through Chatsworth or Savannah need HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp. Your account manager confirms the spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Chattanooga: questions

Can you deliver to plants and warehouses at Enterprise South?
Yes. We deliver truckloads into Enterprise South off I-75 and to docks around Ooltewah and Collegedale. Send the building address and receiving rules, and your account manager confirms grade, quantity and delivery details before the order is placed.
What pallet should a Dalton carpet mill order for rolls?
A standard 48x40 stringer is too short and too light for many rolls. Mills usually ask for custom lengths, extra stringers or block construction sized for the weight. Send roll dimensions and weight, and your account manager sources a build from an independent yard near your mill.
Do exporters shipping through the Chatsworth inland port need heat-treated pallets?
If the pallets go overseas, yes. Containers railed from Chatsworth to Savannah sail to countries that generally follow ISPM 15, which calls for heat treatment and the stamp. We quote HT pallets from accredited facilities for the export lots.
Do you serve plants in Cleveland, Tennessee?
Yes. Cleveland's appliance, battery and food plants are on our delivery map, along with docks across Bradley County off I-75. Many of those plants buy to a customer print, so send dimensions and load weight, and your account manager spells out the build on the quote.
Can you supply carrier terminals and cross-docks around Chattanooga?
Yes. Carrier terminals and cross-docks here mostly need recycled 48x40s sorted by grade. Tell your account manager how many you swap or ship out each week and whether customers require Grade A, and we set up deliveries from an independent yard nearby.
Where can I buy pallets in Chattanooga, TN?
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 Chattanooga, TN?
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 Chattanooga, TN?
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.
