How we supply it

An Atlanta broker, a yard near your dock.

Chesapeake Pallets is a pallet broker based in Atlanta. We don't run a yard in Jackson. For each load we buy from an independent yard close to your dock that has your grade in stock, and the delivered price includes the freight. One account manager handles the quote, the paperwork and the invoice.

Jackson at a glance

What Jackson makes and moves.

The Jackson metro makes electrical equipment and machinery, primary and fabricated metal products and processed food, while the counties around it raise poultry, livestock, soybeans and cotton. Poultry tops the state agriculture department's commodity snapshot, with broilers alone worth $3.38 billion, and timber ranks second. An auto assembly plant sits just outside Canton on I-55, and Pearl's West Rankin Industrial Park is slated for a plant making electrical grid components.

That spread keeps several kinds of pallets moving. Chicken plants east of the city pack fresh and frozen product that needs strong, tight decks. Warehouses near the I-20 and I-55 junction run on standard 48x40s and turn them over quickly. Electrical and metal plants ship heavy gear that wants block pallets or sizes cut to a drawing. And exporters sending containers south to Gulf ports need heat-treated wood carrying the ISPM 15 stamp.

How freight moves

Ports, rail and interstates.

I-55 runs north toward Memphis and south toward New Orleans, and I-20 runs east–west from Vicksburg to Meridian; I-220 loops the city's northwest side. US 49 heads southeast through Hattiesburg and ends at Gulfport on the coast, home of the Port of Gulfport. One Class I railroad runs north–south between the Gulf Coast and the Midwest, and the other operates the 85-acre intermodal facility in Rankin County. The Port of Vicksburg, west on I-20, gives shippers Mississippi River barge access. Jackson–Evers International handles commercial and cargo service.

Which pallet to order

The right grade for Jackson.

Chicken plants east of town usually need new or AAA pallets with solid top decks that stand up to ice, washdown and blast freezing. Warehouses in Pearl and Richland can run recycled Grade B for floor moves and Grade A for loads going on to retail receivers. Electrical-equipment and metal plants should order block pallets or custom sizes built to the drawing. Containers headed overseas through Gulfport, Mobile or New Orleans need heat-treated (HT) wood bearing the IPPC mark. Your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing.

Straight answers

Buying pallets in Jackson.

Can you deliver to warehouses near the I-20 and I-55 junction in Pearl and Richland?+
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to distribution and cross-dock buildings in Pearl, Richland, Flowood and south Jackson. Send the dock address, appointment rules and how the pallets will be used, and your account manager puts grade, quantity and delivery details on the quote before the load ships.
What pallet should a central Mississippi poultry plant order?+
Most processors shipping iced or frozen boxes order new or AAA 48x40s with tight nailing and full top decks, since wet floors and freezers punish weak boards. If your grocery or food-service buyers set a pallet rule, send it, and your account manager confirms the grade.
Do containers trucked to the Port of Gulfport for export need heat-treated pallets?+
Yes, if the freight is leaving the country. Most importing nations require solid-wood packaging to be heat-treated and marked under ISPM 15, and the rule applies wherever the box was loaded. We source HT pallets from ALSC-accredited facilities, and your account manager spells out the stamp on the quote.
Can you build custom pallets for electrical-equipment plants around Jackson?+
Yes. Send a drawing or the footprint, weight and lift points of the unit. An independent yard near your plant builds block or stringer pallets to that spec, with heavier deckboards where the weight needs them, and your account manager confirms the build before production.
Do you deliver up I-55 to Madison and Canton?+
Yes. Plants, supplier buildings and warehouses in Ridgeland, Madison and Canton get truckload delivery just like Jackson addresses. Tell us whether your receiver follows a customer's packaging spec, and your account manager matches it and puts the pallet grade on the quote.
What do pallets cost delivered to Jackson, MS?+
Today's full-truckload ranges run from $4.75 a pallet for Grade B to $10.50 for AAA, freight included. Heat-treated adds $1.00–$1.50. Your ZIP, grade and count set the firm price on the call.
When will a load reach Jackson, MS?+
Your dock date in writing on every quote. Standard 48x40s often land in 0–2 business days. New and custom builds take longer. Your account manager puts the exact date on the quote, before you send a PO. Loads ship as full trucks: a 53' trailer holds 616 recycled 48x40s.
