What Nashville makes and ships

Nashville at a glance

Nashville is one of a handful of U.S. cities where three major interstates meet: I-24, I-40 and I-65. Rail freight works through Radnor Yard on the south side, and I-840 lets trucks skip downtown between the DC suburbs.

Middle Tennessee builds vehicles and ships consumer goods. Auto assembly plants in Smyrna, on I-24, and Spring Hill, south of the city near I-65, pull parts from supplier plants across the region. Distribution buildings fill the Southeast submarket through La Vergne, Smyrna and Murfreesboro and the I-40 corridor through Mt. Juliet and Lebanon; a Q2 2026 broker report says Wilson County and Southeast Nashville account for more than 80% of new deliveries since 2020. The city is also a major freight-rail hub.

Pallet demand splits between line-side parts and store-bound freight. Supplier plants feeding the assembly lines run fixed footprints, returnable racks and pallets made to a print, often block style. DCs along I-24 and I-40 go through standard 48x40s for retail and e-commerce orders. Growth has crowded the interchanges where I-24 and I-40 meet I-840, so receivers plan appointments around traffic and notice quickly when a pallet truck runs late.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-24, I-40 and I-65 converge downtown, I-440 bypasses the core to the south, and I-840 forms an outer southern loop linking the I-40, I-65 and I-24 corridors. Radnor Yard in south Nashville handles rail freight and truck-to-rail transfers. Nashville International sits beside I-40 southeast of downtown and handles air cargo. There is no seaport nearby, so export containers move by rail or truck to coastal terminals, and every wood pallet inside them needs ISPM 15 treatment and the stamp.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Nashville.

Auto suppliers should spec block or custom pallets to the customer's print and keep that spec locked across every shipment. I-24 and I-40 DCs do well with Grade A recycled 48x40s for racked and retail-bound freight, plus Grade B for one-way outbound loads. Consumer-goods DCs with strict retail receiving should consider AAA. Export containers headed to coastal ports need HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Before production, your account manager documents the grade spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Nashville: questions

Can you deliver pallets to DCs in La Vergne and Smyrna along I-24?+
Yes. We deliver by the truckload to distribution buildings in the Southeast submarket, from Antioch through Murfreesboro. The pallets come from a yard close to your dock, and your account manager confirms the grade and books the appointment with your receiving office.
What pallet do auto suppliers shipping to Smyrna or Spring Hill need?+
Whatever the customer's packaging spec calls for, which is often a block pallet or a custom size matched to racks and returnable containers. Send the drawing or dimensions and load weight, and your account manager confirms the build in writing before production.
Do containers railed out of Nashville for export need heat-treated pallets?+
If the container is going overseas, yes in most cases. Countries that follow ISPM 15 require wood packaging to be heat treated and stamped, no matter which coastal port it sails from. We quote HT pallets from ALSC-accredited facilities when your shipment needs them.
Do you serve the newer DCs in Mt. Juliet and Lebanon off I-40?+
Yes. Wilson County has added a lot of distribution space, and we deliver there by the truckload. Tell your account manager your retail customers' pallet rules so the grade matches the strictest one, and the spec is confirmed before the order ships.
Where can I buy pallets in Nashville, TN?+
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 Nashville, TN?+
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 Nashville, TN?+
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.
