What Omaha makes and ships

Omaha at a glance

Omaha freight starts with meat and rail. Beef, pork and poultry plants from Omaha to Fremont ship cartons nationwide and overseas, while I-80, I-29 and four freight railroads meeting in Council Bluffs carry everything else across the Missouri River.

In 1955 Omaha's Union Stockyards overtook Chicago's as the nation's meatpacking center. The yards closed in 1999, but meat still drives freight. One Omaha beef packer says it ships to every state and more than 70 countries, a hog-processing plant is one of Fremont's largest employers, and a poultry complex there runs its own hatchery and feed mill. Across the river, Council Bluffs makes frozen foods, dairy products and plastics. Omaha is also the headquarters city of a transcontinental railroad and a center for insurance and finance.

That keeps Omaha pallet demand tied to cold chains. Boxed beef, pork and chicken leave in refrigerated trailers for grocery and foodservice DCs, and export cartons add heat-treated stock to the mix. Frozen-food and dairy plants need pallets that hold up in freezers and on wet floors. The chamber's development arm says truck transportation is almost twice as concentrated here as nationally, so cross-docks and carrier terminals cycle through plenty of standard 48x40s. Equipment makers add heavier builds.

How freight moves

I-80 crosses the Missouri River between Omaha and Council Bluffs, running west to Lincoln and east toward Des Moines. I-29 follows the Iowa bank north to Sioux City and south to Kansas City, while I-480 and I-680 serve the core and northern suburbs and US-75 runs north–south. US-30 and US-275 reach Fremont, about 35 miles northwest. The first transcontinental line was built west from Omaha, four freight railroads connect in Council Bluffs, and industrial sites have Missouri River access. Eppley Airfield, three miles northeast of downtown, handles air cargo.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Omaha.

Meat plants usually want AAA or new 48x40s with tight decks that stand up in coolers, and frozen-food and dairy plants ask for the same. Cross-docks, carrier terminals and dry-goods warehouses mostly run Grade B recycled, stepping up to Grade A for retail receivers. Equipment and packaging-systems makers need block pallets or custom sizes. Boxed beef and other cartons bound overseas should ride heat-treated (HT) pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing before a load ships.

Buying pallets in Omaha: questions

Do Omaha beef plants shipping overseas need heat-treated pallets?
In most cases. Most importing countries apply ISPM 15 to wood packaging, so export cartons should sit on HT pallets bearing the IPPC mark. Ask your forwarder or the importer about the destination's rules, and we quote HT stock with the spec confirmed.
Can you deliver to plants and warehouses in Council Bluffs?
Yes. We deliver on both sides of the Missouri River, including Council Bluffs and the rest of Pottawattamie County. Send the dock address, appointment rules and the grade you run today, and your account manager puts grade, size and delivery details on the quote.
What pallet does a Fremont poultry or pork plant need?
Usually strong AAA or new 48x40s that hold up in coolers and wet processing rooms. Many retail and foodservice receivers set their own pallet rules, so send those with the order. Your account manager confirms the grade, deck coverage and fastener spec.
Do you serve the Sarpy County warehouse suburbs?
Yes. We deliver to distribution buildings in La Vista, Papillion, Gretna and Bellevue, and across Douglas County. Tell us the grade your floor runs and whether pallets leave with outbound freight, and your account manager spells out the spec on the quote.

From us, by the full truckload: 616 recycled 48x40s per truck, or 520 block pallets. Call (470) 206-3352 or book a test load.
