What Fresno makes and ships

Fresno at a glance

Fresno County's 2024 crop report put farm output above $9 billion for the first time, led by almonds, grapes and pistachios. Packing houses, processors and big distribution centers line SR-99 from Madera through Fresno to Selma and Kingsburg.

Fresno is the business center of the San Joaquin Valley's farm belt. The county's top ten commodities in 2024 were almonds, grapes, pistachios, cattle, milk, poultry, tomatoes, peaches, garlic and oranges, and local reporting on the crop report ranked that total first among U.S. counties. Selma, which calls itself the Raisin Capital of the World, sits among the vineyards south of town, and Fowler and Kingsburg host raisin packers. Fresno County also led the state in processing-tomato contract acreage in 2025.

That calendar drives pallets. Tree fruit packing runs through summer, raisins and grapes come in late summer, nuts follow into fall, and citrus picks up in winter. Packers need wood on the dock when the crop arrives, not a week later. Meanwhile, large distribution centers in south Fresno serve stores and online orders all year, which keeps standard 48x40s moving. Export loads truck to Oakland or to the San Pedro Bay ports.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

SR-99 is the valley's main street, linking Fresno north to Madera, Merced and Stockton and south to Selma, Kingsburg, Tulare and Bakersfield. I-5 runs along the county's west side through tomato and nut country, with SR-180 and SR-41 connecting across, and SR-168 climbs toward the Sierra foothills. Freight rail mainlines run through the city. The Port of Oakland is the nearest container port for valley exporters, Los Angeles and Long Beach are the other common gateway, and the Port of Stockton handles bulk.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Fresno.

Pick by product and season. Fresh tree fruit and table grapes headed to grocery DCs usually ship on Grade A or new 48x40s, and receivers notice cracked boards. Raisin and nut packers moving heavy cases can run Grade A, with HT pallets bearing the IPPC mark for anything bound overseas through Oakland. Distribution centers in south Fresno do well with Grade B for internal moves and Grade A for outbound. Book harvest volume before the season opens, and your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Fresno: questions

What pallet do Fresno tree-fruit packers use for the summer run?+
Most packers shipping to grocery DCs order Grade A or new 48x40s, since cold, wet fruit and strict receivers punish weak boards. Tell your account manager when your first picks start and roughly how many loads a week you expect, and they line up quotes before the sheds get busy.
Do raisin and almond exports through Oakland need heat-treated pallets?+
Yes, when the cargo is palletized and going overseas. ISPM 15 requires wood packaging to be heat-treated and marked for most importing countries. Order HT pallets marked under ISPM 15 from accredited heat-treatment facilities, and keep them separate from domestic stock.
Can you deliver to the big distribution centers in south Fresno?+
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to warehouses in the south Fresno industrial district off SR-99 and SR-41, including appointment-only docks. Send your receiving rules and the grade you run, and your account manager spells out the spec and delivery date on the quote.
Do you cover Visalia, Tulare and the rest of the south valley?+
Yes. Packers and DCs down SR-99 in Kingsburg, Visalia, Tulare and Hanford are part of the same coverage. We source from a nearby independent yard and deliver by the truckload, and your account manager puts grade and count in writing.
Where can I buy pallets in Fresno, CA?+
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 Fresno, CA?+
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 Fresno, CA?+
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.
