What Madison makes and ships

Madison at a glance

Madison's freight comes off farms as much as factories. Dane County dairy and grain, plastics and packaging plants in DeForest, and warehouses along I-39/90/94 all feed a capital better known for government, health care and research.

Madison's own economy leans on state government, the university, health care and software, but the county around it is serious farm country. USDA's 2022 Census of Agriculture ranks Dane County second in Wisconsin for farm sales and first for grain and oilseed sales, with about $270 million in milk sold. North of the city, DeForest's business park mixes plastics, packaging and consumer-goods plants with a pharmacy chain's distribution center, and the metro is home to bicycle and appliance makers.

That gives Madison pallet demand a split personality. Dairy, feed and grain buyers need pallets that handle bagged and cased product in damp storage. Plastics molders and packaging plants want uniform 48x40s that stack tall and wrap cleanly. Appliance and bicycle makers ship boxed finished goods that sometimes need custom footprints. Distribution centers off the interstate rotate standard recycled pallets fast and judge them on matching height.

How freight moves

I-39/90/94 runs along Madison's east side. To the south, I-39 and I-90 continue together past Janesville and Beloit toward Rockford and Chicago, while I-94 breaks off east toward Milwaukee; north of the city all three share the road to Portage. The Beltline (US 12/18) loops the south and west sides, and US 151 runs northeast to Sun Prairie and southwest to Verona. Two freight railroads serve Madison, one of them a regional line headquartered in the city. Dane County Regional Airport sits northeast of downtown, and Port Milwaukee is the nearest Great Lakes port.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Madison.

DeForest plastics and packaging plants and the interstate DCs do well on recycled GMA-style 48x40 stringers, Grade A when the pallet ships out with product and Grade B for internal moves. Dairy, feed and seed handlers working in damp storage should step up to AAA or new pallets with tighter decks. Appliance and bike makers shipping odd-sized cartons should ask for custom sizes. Export crates headed to Port Milwaukee or a coastal port need HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15, and your account manager confirms the spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Madison: questions

Can you deliver to the business parks in DeForest and Sun Prairie?
Yes. Full truckloads go across Dane County, including DeForest's business park off I-39/90/94, Sun Prairie, Windsor and the Beltline corridor. Share your receiving hours and appointment rules with the order, and your account manager confirms grade and delivery details before booking the truck.
What pallet suits dairy and feed products stored in damp warehouses?
Moisture and heavy bags are hard on worn boards, so AAA or new pallets with tight top decks last longer than Grade B. Heat treatment kills pests but doesn't stop mold, so keep stock covered and dry either way. Your account manager spells out the grade spec on the quote.
Do plastics molders in DeForest need a particular pallet?
Molded goods are light, so the priority is uniform height and square stacking for stretch-wrap and racking. Recycled Grade A 48x40s usually cover outbound loads, and new pallets suit customers with strict pallet rules. Send your current spec and your account manager matches it in writing.
Can you deliver to Janesville and Beloit along I-39/90?
Yes. Rock County docks in Janesville and Beloit are part of the delivery area, along with the I-39/90 corridor toward the Illinois line. Give your account manager each address, because a food plant and a warehouse in the same town may need different grades.
Where can I buy pallets in Madison, WI?
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 Madison, WI?
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 Madison, WI?
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.
