What Tallahassee makes and ships

Tallahassee at a glance

Tallahassee is Florida's capital and a university town on I-10 in the Big Bend. Its docks feed grocery shelves, campus kitchens and building sites, while a short-line railroad headquartered here runs the old main line west to Pensacola and east toward Jacksonville.

Government, universities and health care drive Tallahassee. The city holds nearly 30 state agency headquarters, Florida State enrolled 46,184 students in fall 2025, and Florida A&M and Tallahassee State College add thousands more. Innovation Park and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory anchor research. A grocery chain, a big-box retailer and an e-commerce operator also rank in the city's top ten employers. Across the Georgia line, Thomasville, 34 miles northeast on US 319, is home to a large commercial baking company.

That makes Tallahassee a distribution market more than a factory town. Grocery, beverage and foodservice distributors keep shelves and dining halls stocked, and storm seasons pull water and repair supplies through local warehouses. Hurricane Helene came ashore near Perry, about 50 miles southeast, in September 2024. Bakeries and farm shippers across the state line run food docks with strict receiving rules. Export loads head to Port Panama City or Jacksonville and need heat-treated wood.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-10 runs across the north side of Tallahassee with five exits, about 166 miles west of I-95 at Jacksonville and 100 miles from I-75 near Lake City. US 27, US 319 and US 90 cross the city, and Capital Circle rings it. A short line headquartered here took over the Pensacola–Baldwin main line from a Class I railroad in 2019 and meets Class I track at both ends; another short line at Cottondale reaches Port Panama City. Tallahassee International Airport has cleared international cargo since a customs facility opened in 2015.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Tallahassee.

Food, beverage and foodservice distributors should order Grade A recycled or new 48x40s that rack cleanly in coolers. Bakery docks across the Georgia line often ask for AAA. Retail and fulfillment warehouses can run Grade B for internal moves. Loads headed overseas through Port Panama City or Jacksonville need HT pallets bearing the IPPC mark. Before hurricane season, order ahead and keep spares indoors, since wet wood adds weight and stains cartons. Your account manager confirms the grade spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Tallahassee: questions

Can you deliver to distributors near Tallahassee International Airport and Capital Circle?
Yes. We deliver truckloads to warehouses and distributors on Tallahassee's south and west sides, near the airport and along Capital Circle. Send the dock address and receiving rules, and your account manager puts grade, quantity and delivery details on the quote.
Do you deliver across the line to Thomasville and South Georgia?
Yes. Bakeries, food plants and farm shippers up US 319 in Thomasville and across South Georgia are on our delivery map. Food docks usually ask for Grade A or AAA 48x40s, and your account manager writes your receiving spec into the order.
Do loads shipping out through Port Panama City or Jacksonville need heat-treated pallets?
If they go overseas, yes. Most destination countries follow ISPM 15, which calls for heat treatment and the stamp. Tell your account manager which loads are export, and we quote HT pallets from accredited heat-treatment facilities alongside your standard domestic stock.
Should Tallahassee distributors build pallet inventory before hurricane season?
Yes. Helene made landfall near Perry in September 2024, and Tallahassee International Airport closed that day. Ordering before peak season and keeping spares under cover helps. Tell your account manager your expected usage, and we schedule loads from the closest yard with your grade in stock.
What pallet do campus and hospital food suppliers use?
Most foodservice distributors run Grade A recycled or new 48x40 stringers that rack in coolers and freezers without cracking. Some also set lumber or moisture rules. Share your receiving checklist, and your account manager confirms the spec before the first load.
Where can I buy pallets in Tallahassee, FL?
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 Tallahassee, FL?

When will a load reach Tallahassee, FL?
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.
