What Sacramento makes and ships

Sacramento at a glance

Sacramento sits where I-5, I-80, US-50 and SR-99 meet, with rice country to the north and Delta farms to the south. Breakbulk ships load milled rice at the Port of West Sacramento, and the Roseville rail yard sorts trains bound over the Sierra.

The capital region grows, packs and ships farm goods. Nearly all of California's rice grows in the Sacramento Valley, and the California Rice Commission says Japan is the leading importer of the state's rice. Much of the milled crop leaves by ship from the Port of West Sacramento, reached by a 43-mile deep-water channel from Suisun Bay. Yolo County ranks among the state's top processing-tomato counties, and a grower-owned cannery in Woodland runs each summer. Warehouses fill Natomas, McClellan Park, the Power Inn district and West Sacramento.

Pallet demand here follows harvest. Tomato processing runs from July into October, rice moves after the fall harvest, and nut crops in the surrounding valley come in during the same stretch. Those plants all reach for pallets when every other packer in the valley does. The rest of the year, DCs off I-80 and I-5 restock stores across the region and want uniform Grade A. Exporters trucking to Oakland need HT.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-80 runs east over Donner Pass to Reno and west to the Bay Area. I-5 runs the length of the valley, US-50 climbs toward South Lake Tahoe, and SR-99 heads south to Stockton and Fresno. The Roseville rail yard sits where three rail lines meet, including the route over the Sierra. Bulk and breakbulk ships reach the Port of West Sacramento through the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel, while container exporters truck to the Port of Oakland. Sacramento International Airport handles air freight next to Metro Air Park.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Sacramento.

Order for the season. Tomato canners and nut packers should book Grade A or new 48x40s ahead of late summer, when every plant in the valley is buying at once. Rice mills stacking heavy bags may want new or AAA pallets with stronger deck boards. Retail DCs in Natomas and McClellan Park run on Grade A, while cross-dock moves fit Grade B. Anything bound for Oakland and overseas needs HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Your account manager sends the grade spec in writing with the quote.

Buying pallets in Sacramento: questions

Do rice exporters using the Port of West Sacramento need heat-treated pallets?+
If any wood packaging travels with the cargo, ISPM 15 applies, and pallets must be heat-treated and stamped. Bulk rice loaded loose needs no pallets at all. Tell your account manager how your rice ships, by breakbulk, container or truck, and they confirm whether HT stock is needed.
When should a Woodland or Yolo County cannery line up pallets for tomato season?+
Before the first trucks of tomatoes roll in. The Woodland cannery season runs about July through October, and processors across the valley buy in the same weeks. Share your expected volume early, and your account manager lines up quotes and confirms the grade in writing.
Can you deliver to warehouses at Metro Air Park and McClellan Park?+
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to Metro Air Park by the airport, McClellan Park, Natomas and the Power Inn district. Send dock hours and any appointment rules, and your account manager confirms grade, count and a delivery date before the order is placed.
Do you serve Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln in Placer County?+
Yes. Plants and DCs along I-80 and SR-65 in Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln get the same service as Sacramento proper. We buy from an independent yard near your dock and deliver by the truckload, and your account manager spells out spec on the quote.
Where can I buy pallets in Sacramento, CA?+
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 Sacramento, CA?+
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 Sacramento, CA?+
