What Minneapolis–St. Paul makes and ships

Minneapolis–St. Paul at a glance

Two downtowns share one freight system. I-35 splits into I-35W through Minneapolis and I-35E through St. Paul, I-94 links both to Chicago and the Pacific Northwest, and rail cars sort at Northtown Yard while containers move through St. Paul's Midway ramp.

The Twin Cities feed much of the country. The state agriculture department ranks Minnesota first in the nation in sugar beets, turkeys raised and green peas, and second in sweet corn for processing, and several of the world's top food and agribusiness companies keep headquarters in the metro. Medical-device makers, electronics and equipment plants add a deep manufacturing base. Retail and consumer-goods DCs along I-94 and in Shakopee restock stores across the Upper Midwest, and freight rides the rails west toward Pacific Northwest seaports.

Food plants and grocery DCs hold strict receiving rules year-round, and winter adds its own test. Pallets stored outside collect snow and ice that has to come off before they go on a line or into a freezer. Consumer-goods DCs want uniform 48x40s that run on conveyors and in racking. Medical-device and equipment plants ship custom sizes and export crates. Exporters reach overseas buyers through Duluth–Superior on Lake Superior or by rail to Pacific ports.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-94 runs east to Chicago and northwest toward Fargo and the Pacific Northwest. I-35 splits into I-35W and I-35E through the two downtowns and rejoins to the north before heading on to Duluth. The I-494 and I-694 beltway connects suburban warehouse clusters. Northtown Yard in Fridley sorts rail cars, and the Midway and Shoreham intermodal terminals handle containers. Up I-35, the port authority bills Duluth–Superior as North America's farthest-inland freshwater seaport, with Seaway access to the Atlantic.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Minneapolis–St. Paul.

Food and agribusiness docks should order Grade A, AAA or new 48x40s, delivered dry and kept indoors so they go into freezers without ice on the deck. Retail and consumer-goods DCs run Grade A recycled stock that racks cleanly. Medical-device and equipment plants need custom sizes or block pallets, and anything leaving through Duluth–Superior or a Pacific port needs heat-treated (HT) pallets bearing the IPPC mark. Canada-bound loads may qualify for the continental-wood exemption, but many shippers order HT anyway.

Buying pallets in Minneapolis–St. Paul: questions

Do pallets left outside in a Minnesota winter cause problems?+
They can. Snow and ice packed into the deck add weight, make loads slide and keep stretch film from sticking, and wet boards can crack when they freeze. Ask for pallets stored under cover before loading, keep empties inside once they arrive, and tell your account manager about any winter dock access limits.
Can you deliver to food plants and DCs along I-94 in Brooklyn Park and Rogers?+
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to docks throughout the Northwest submarket, including Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove and Rogers. Share your appointment rules, door assignments and any customer pallet spec, and your account manager confirms the grade and delivery details in writing.
Do exports through Duluth or Pacific Northwest ports need heat-treated pallets?+
Yes, in nearly every case. Solid-wood pallets and crates on ocean freight generally must be heat-treated and marked to ISPM 15, whether the cargo sails from Duluth–Superior or rides the rails to the West Coast first. We source HT pallets from accredited heat-treatment facilities.
What pallet should a medical-device or equipment plant order?+
Most order custom sizes or block pallets built to a drawing, often in new lumber, with heat treatment for export customers. Send the print, the load weight and how the pallet is handled, and your account manager confirms the build spec so each order matches.
Where can I buy pallets in Minneapolis–St. Paul, MN?+
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 Minneapolis–St. Paul, MN?+
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 Minneapolis–St. Paul, MN?+
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.
