What Kentucky makes and ships

Kentucky at a glance

Kentucky freight leans on air cargo and the Ohio River. Louisville's airport runs a worldwide parcel air hub, CVG in Boone County hosts two large cargo operations, and I-64, I-65, I-71 and I-75 carry bourbon, appliances and vehicles across the state.

The Kentucky Distillers' Association says 95 percent of the world's bourbon is made in the state, and it counted 16.1 million barrels aging in October 2025. Vehicle assembly plants run in Georgetown, Louisville and Bowling Green, and Louisville builds home appliances. Boone County has become a major hub for logistics and e-commerce distribution around the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport in Hebron. River freight moves along the Ohio through port districts at Louisville, Northern Kentucky and the Ashland stretch near Huntington.

Pallet use follows those products. Bourbon bottling halls ship cased spirits that need flat, solid decks. Air-hub warehouses around Louisville and Hebron receive and ship parts, retail goods and online orders on standard 48x40s. Appliance and vehicle plants move bulky, heavy components that often need block pallets or custom sizes, and every export by air or sea needs ISPM 15 heat treatment.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-65 runs from Indiana through Louisville and Elizabethtown to Bowling Green and Nashville, and I-64 crosses from Louisville to Lexington and Ashland. I-71 links Louisville with Cincinnati, I-75 runs from Northern Kentucky through Lexington toward Knoxville, and I-24 and I-69 serve the west around Paducah. The Ohio forms the northern border, with river ports at Louisville and Northern Kentucky. Kentucky has no seaport, so ocean exports reach the coast by rail or truck, and air freight leaves through Louisville and CVG.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Kentucky.

Bourbon bottlers should order new or AAA 48x40s so cased glass sits flat and arrives looking right. Air-hub and e-commerce warehouses around Louisville and Hebron usually run Grade A or Grade B stringers, and automated sorters may call for block pallets. Appliance and parts plants often need custom sizes or heavy block builds. Any wood pallet leaving the country, by sea or by air, needs HT stamping under ISPM 15. Your account manager writes the grade spec into the order.

Cities and rules in Kentucky

Buying pallets in Kentucky: questions

What pallet do Kentucky bourbon bottlers ask for?+
Most want new or AAA 48x40s with tight top decks so cases of glass ride flat. Export orders also need HT pallets marked under ISPM 15. Give your account manager your case pattern, stack height and any customer requirements, and the spec goes on the order in writing.
Can you deliver to warehouses around CVG in Hebron and Florence?+
Yes. Distribution sites across Boone and Kenton counties are on our delivery map. Most run recycled 48x40 stringers; tell your account manager if your sort systems require block pallets or a specific grade, and the order is confirmed in writing.
Do air exports through Louisville need heat-treated pallets?+
Yes. ISPM 15 covers wood packaging in international trade whether it flies or sails, so pallets that leave with export cargo should be heat treated and stamped. Flag those shipments and your account manager sources HT pallets from an accredited heat-treatment facility.
Can you build heavy custom pallets for barrel handling?+
Yes, if your warehouse moves or stores barrels on pallets. Send the barrel count per pallet, the filled weight and the stacking plan, and your account manager sources a custom heavy-duty build to that spec from an independent yard near you.
Do you serve Louisville warehouses near the airport and Riverport?+
Yes. Docks around the airport, the Riverport industrial park and Shepherdsville in Bullitt County are on our map. Share the dock address and the grade you accept, and your account manager confirms quantity, grade and delivery details.
Where can I buy pallets in Kentucky?+
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 Kentucky?+
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 Kentucky?+
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.
