What McAllen makes and ships
McAllen at a glance
McAllen sits across the Rio Grande from Reynosa, and its freight runs both ways. Mexican fruit and vegetables roll north over the Pharr bridge into cold rooms, while parts and materials head south to Reynosa assembly plants along I-2 and I-69C.
Since NAFTA took effect in 1994, the local economy has leaned on cross-border trade, health care, retail and tourism more than on farming. Reynosa, directly south, is a large manufacturing center whose plants assemble components shipped from the U.S. and send finished goods back. McAllen commissioned one of the country's first inland foreign-trade zones in 1973, between the city and the river. Around it, the Valley still grows grapefruit, vegetables, cotton, sorghum and sugarcane, and citrus comes off the trees each winter.
Those flows set two pallet calendars. Produce importers and cold-storage warehouses near the Pharr bridge turn pallets constantly as Mexican fruit is inspected, re-sorted and loaded for grocery distribution centers farther north. Valley packers add a winter push during grapefruit season. On the factory side, suppliers in McAllen, Pharr and Mission stage components for Reynosa plants, and any wood packaging crossing south has to clear Mexico's import rules.

How freight moves
I-2 follows US 83 east–west through Mission, McAllen and Pharr, and I-69C follows US 281 north from Pharr through Edinburg. Loaded trucks from Reynosa enter at the Pharr–Reynosa International Bridge, reached from US 281 by Spur 600; northbound trucks were moved off the McAllen–Hidalgo bridge in 1996, and the Anzalduas bridge near Mission lets only empty trucks travel south. McAllen Miller International Airport carries passengers and has a foreign-trade-zone site for air cargo. The nearest deepwater seaport is the Port of Brownsville, at the Valley's eastern end, with rail links into northeast Mexico.

Which pallet to order
The right pallet grade for McAllen.
Anything crossing south into Mexico should ride heat-treated (HT) pallets bearing the IPPC mark; Mexico generally applies that standard to wood packaging, and your customs broker confirms the current rule for each shipment. Produce coolers and citrus sheds do better with new or AAA pallets that stay square under wet cartons and pass grocery inspection. Foreign-trade-zone warehouses can run recycled Grade A 48x40s outbound and Grade B for internal storage. Heavy kits for Reynosa plants may need block pallets or custom sizes. Your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing.
