What Richmond makes and ships

Richmond at a glance

Richmond's freight meets where I-95 and I-64 come together, with I-85 branching off just south in Petersburg. On the James River, Richmond Marine Terminal barges containers down to the Port of Virginia's terminals in Hampton Roads six days a week.

Greater Richmond makes food, chemicals and medicine and moves a lot of retail freight. The Greater Richmond Partnership counts more than 12,000 food and beverage workers, from a biscuit bakery in Henrico to a large hummus plant and a deli-meat maker in Chesterfield. Chemical plants work the James in Chesterfield and Hopewell, and Petersburg has become a center for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Scott's Addition, once a warehouse district, now bills itself as a beverage district. An e-commerce fulfillment operation ranks among Chesterfield's largest employers, and the regional development group calls Dinwiddie a logistics hot spot.

Pallet demand splits three ways. Food plants and beverage makers want sound, dry boards that keep cartons and kegs square in coolers and on wet floors. Fulfillment and 3PL buildings along I-95 and I-295 cycle standard 48x40s and expect every load to match. And because containers can be stuffed in Richmond and barged to Hampton Roads, export freight leaves town already on pallets, which means treated lumber and a visible ISPM 15 stamp.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-95 and I-64 share a stretch through downtown, I-295 loops east of the city past Richmond International Airport, and I-85 splits off I-95 at Petersburg toward Durham and Atlanta. Richmond Marine Terminal, on the James River in south Richmond, runs a three-barge, six-day-a-week container service to the Port of Virginia's Hampton Roads terminals, plus rail and truck transload. Container trains load at on-dock rail yards in the Port of Virginia's Norfolk terminals. The airport handles cargo for the major parcel carriers from its own warehouse and apron space.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Richmond.

Food plants and beverage makers should order AAA recycled or new pallets with sound, dry decks, since cartons and kegs sit in coolers and on wet floors. Fulfillment and 3PL buildings along I-95 and I-295 mostly run recycled GMA-style 48x40s, Grade A outbound and Grade B in storage. Containers stuffed in Richmond and barged to Hampton Roads for export need HT pallets bearing the IPPC mark. Heavy or odd-sized goods, from machinery to building materials, may call for block pallets or custom sizes.

Buying pallets in Richmond: questions

Can export containers go by barge from Richmond Marine Terminal?+
Yes. The Port of Virginia runs a container-on-barge service from Richmond Marine Terminal to its Hampton Roads terminals six days a week. If you stuff export containers in Richmond, put the freight on HT pallets marked under ISPM 15, and tell your account manager the destination so the spec is confirmed in writing.
Can you deliver to fulfillment and 3PL buildings in Chesterfield and east Henrico?+
Yes. We deliver truckloads to distribution buildings along I-95 in Chesterfield, around Richmond International Airport in east Henrico, and south toward Petersburg and Dinwiddie. Share your appointment system and grade requirements, and your account manager puts both on the quote before the load is booked.
What pallet do Richmond breweries and beverage makers use?+
Kegs and case packs are heavy and often sit on damp floors, so most beverage makers prefer AAA recycled or new 48x40s with sound decks and no loose boards. Small producers in Scott's Addition should tell your account manager about dock height and street access so the delivery fits the site.
Do you deliver south to Petersburg, Dinwiddie and Prince George County?+
Yes. We deliver to plants and distribution buildings along I-95, I-85 and I-295 south of Richmond, including Petersburg, Dinwiddie and Prince George County. Each load comes from a nearby independent yard, and your account manager confirms your grade spec and appointment rules.

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

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 Richmond, VA?+
