What Evansville makes and ships

Evansville at a glance

Evansville freight moves on the Ohio River as much as on the highway. Barges load grain, coal and steel coils at Mount Vernon downstream, while I-69 and I-64 carry plastics, nutrition products and metals toward Indianapolis, Louisville and St. Louis.

The Evansville region builds more than its size suggests. Its economic partnership says manufacturing employs more than 33,000 people in the metro, and it names plastics, food and beverage, life sciences and logistics as key industries. A pediatric-nutrition maker with Evansville roots back to 1915 sells more than 70 products in over 50 countries. Aluminum operations run in Warrick County near Newburgh, a steel works sits at Rockport, and an assembly complex between Princeton and Fort Branch builds SUVs and minivans.

For pallets, that means several kinds of dock. Plastics molders and packaging plants ship light, bulky cartons and want uniform 48x40s that stack and wrap evenly. Metals and parts makers need block pallets or custom builds that carry dense loads. Nutrition and food plants shipping abroad need heat-treated wood. River terminals add another layer of demand, with bagged and palletized cargo moving between barge, rail and truck and taking hard knocks along the way.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-69 links Evansville to Indianapolis, and in Kentucky a new I-69 segment around Henderson opened in November 2025, but the Ohio River bridge isn't slated to open until about 2031, so trucks still cross on the US 41 bridges. I-64 runs east to Louisville and west to St. Louis, and US 41 heads north toward Chicago. Ports of Indiana–Mount Vernon has eight miles of track and barge fleeting, and the port authority calls it the top tonnage port for barge and rail on the Ohio River. Evansville's own river terminal loads barges under covered slips.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Evansville.

Plastics and packaging docks usually do well on recycled Grade A 48x40 stringers, with Grade B for storage. Nutrition and food plants shipping cartons abroad need HT pallets with the ISPM 15 mark, and AAA or new decks keep cases square. Aluminum, steel and parts shipments call for block pallets, which give true four-way entry, or custom sizes built to the coil or crate. River terminals handling bagged fertilizer or grain products get longer life from heavier new pallets. Your account manager confirms the spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Evansville: questions

Has the new I-69 bridge changed deliveries between Evansville and Henderson?
Not yet. Kentucky opened its I-69 segment around Henderson in November 2025, but the river bridge itself isn't slated to open until about 2031, so trucks still use the US 41 bridges. We deliver on both sides of the river; give your account manager your dock address and hours.
Do nutrition and food exporters in Evansville need heat-treated pallets?
When cartons leave the U.S. on wood pallets, most destination countries require ISPM 15 treatment. Order HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp from accredited facilities and keep the mark visible. Domestic loads can ride untreated new or recycled pallets, and your account manager confirms which you need.
What pallet works for aluminum coils or heavy parts from Warrick County plants?
Dense loads like coils, ingots and machined parts need more than a standard stringer. Block pallets spread weight and take forks from all four sides; custom builds can add thicker deckboards or extra supports sized to the load. Send weight and footprint, and your account manager confirms the build.
Can you deliver to river terminals at Mount Vernon?
Yes. Full truckloads go to terminal and warehouse docks in Posey County as well as Vanderburgh and Warrick counties. Port sites have their own gate and check-in rules, so tell your account manager the terminal name and any appointment requirement when you place the order.
