Sioux Falls at a glance
What Sioux Falls makes and moves.
Health care and banking are major employers in Sioux Falls, but meat and food still drive the freight. A pork-processing plant had about 3,400 workers in the city's 2022 financial report, among its top employers. Foundation Park, at the I-90 and I-29 interchange, adds a frozen-food plant, cold-storage and public warehouse operators, an e-commerce fulfillment center, parcel and freight terminals and a medical-supply distributor, with Class I rail access on site. The development foundation also lists distribution and advanced manufacturing among the city's key industries.
Pallet demand here follows the cold chain. Pork and frozen food leave on refrigerated trailers, and cold-storage operators need pallets that survive freezer temperatures, condensation and constant forklift work. Fulfillment and parcel buildings rotate standard 48x40s in big numbers. Medical-supply distribution adds orders for uniform, tidy stock. Sioux Falls is also South Dakota's customs port of entry and, the development foundation says, the state's only air cargo port, so some freight leaves for other countries.
Who buys pallets here
The docks that run on pallets in Sioux Falls.
- 01
Sioux Falls pork packing
The city's pork plant is one of its largest private employers, with about 3,400 workers in 2022. Fresh and frozen cuts move through wash-down rooms and cold docks, where AAA or new pallets with tight decks and no loose nails hold up better than worn recycled stock and keep boxes level.
Food & beverage → - 02
Foundation Park cold storage
Cold-storage and public warehouse operators and a frozen-food manufacturer sit in Foundation Park beside parcel terminals and an e-commerce fulfillment center. Freezer work punishes wet or split boards, so these docks need sound, uniform 48x40s, and block designs help where jacks and forklifts enter from every side.
3PL & warehousing → - 03
Medical-supply distribution
Two health systems rank among the city's biggest employers, and a medical-supply distribution center tied to one of them operates in Foundation Park. Cases of supplies ride standard recycled 48x40s through racks and pick lines, so Grade A outbound and Grade B for internal moves usually covers it, with matched heights the priority.

How freight moves
Ports, rail and interstates.
I-29 runs from Kansas City north through Sioux Falls and Fargo to the Canadian border at Pembina, and I-90 crosses east–west on its way between Boston and Seattle; I-229 forms a partial loop around the city. A Class I railroad serves Sioux Falls, Foundation Park has rail access on site, and a trans-modal site at Worthing, just south of town, offers another rail option. Sioux Falls Regional Airport, also called Joe Foss Field, offers air cargo service, and the development foundation calls Sioux Falls the state's U.S. Customs port of entry.

Which pallet to order
The right grade for Sioux Falls.
Cold-chain docks should order AAA or new pallets, with block designs where pallet jacks work from every side. Heat treatment kills pests but doesn't keep a pallet from getting moldy in a damp cooler, so dry storage still matters. Fulfillment, parcel and medical-supply buildings do well on recycled GMA-style 48x40s, Grade A outbound and Grade B internally. Freight leaving the country, whether flown out through the customs port or trucked north on I-29, should go on HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15 when the buyer requires it.
