El Paso at a glance
What El Paso makes and moves.
International trade sits at the center of El Paso's economy, alongside Fort Bliss, government, oil and gas, and health care; defense alone employs more than 41,000 people. Across the river, Ciudad Juárez has more than 300 maquiladoras, or assembly plants, in and around the city and serves as a major entry point into the U.S. for central northern Mexico. Four crossings in the region process commercial cargo: the Bridge of the Americas, Ysleta–Zaragoza, Santa Teresa in New Mexico, and Tornillo.
Pallet demand here follows the bridges. Southbound components and packaging bound for Juárez plants need wood that meets Mexico's import rule, which means heat treatment and the ISPM 15 mark. Transload and cross-dock buildings that consolidate northbound freight for I-10 and the railroads run standard 48x40s. Metal, machinery and equipment shippers call for block pallets or custom skids, and medical-device makers want consistent dimensions.
Who buys pallets here
The docks that run on pallets in El Paso.
- 01
Cross-border 3PL warehouses
Third-party warehouses in El Paso handle freight moving between the U.S. and Chihuahua, and some offer Foreign Trade Zone 68 services that let companies defer or reduce customs duties. Pallets that ride south often stay in Mexico for good, so these docks often order HT stock alongside domestic Grade A and Grade B.

Metals, plastics and device plants
El Paso factories produce metals, plastics, machinery, medical devices, defense-related goods, automotive parts and petroleum products. Machinery and metal parts ride block pallets or custom skids sized to the load, while device and plastics makers ship boxed product on 48x40s with intact decks and consistent dimensions.

Santa Teresa rail park
Just across the New Mexico line, the 1,100-acre Santa Teresa Gateway Rail Park is served by a short line that interchanges with a Class I railroad, and a rail intermodal terminal sits just northwest of town. The Santa Teresa port of entry, with three commercial lanes, connects the area to San Jerónimo, Chihuahua.

How freight moves
Ports, rail and interstates.
I-10 is the main east–west route, linking El Paso to Los Angeles, San Antonio and Houston and connecting to I-25 toward Albuquerque. US-54, the Patriot Freeway, runs north–south, and Loop 375 encircles the city as Transmountain Road, Joe Battle Boulevard and the Cesar Chavez Border Highway. Commercial trucks cross at the toll-free Bridge of the Americas; at Ysleta–Zaragoza, with a four-lane commercial span; at Santa Teresa; and at Tornillo. Two Class I railroads serve the city, and El Paso International runs a dedicated air cargo complex.

Which pallet to order
The right grade for El Paso.
Start with the border. Anything crossing into Mexico should ride heat-treated (HT) pallets stamped under ISPM 15, because Mexico requires that standard for imported wood packaging; your customs broker confirms the paperwork for each shipment. Cross-docks and FTZ warehouses consolidating northbound freight run Grade A or Grade B 48x40s, depending on the next receiver. Metal, machinery and equipment shippers order block pallets or custom sizes. Medical-device makers often choose new or AAA stock for consistent dimensions. Your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing.
