Pallets deliveredin Mississippi.
Mississippi freight runs north–south on I-55 and US-49 and east–west on I-20 and I-10. DeSoto County's warehouses sit inside the Memphis metro, Tupelo builds furniture beside I-22, and the Port of Gulfport moves containers on the coast.

616How we supply it
An Atlanta broker, a yard near your plant.
Chesapeake Pallets is a pallet broker based in Atlanta. We don't run a yard in Mississippi. For each load we buy from an independent yard close to your dock that has your grade in stock, and the delivered price includes the freight. One account manager handles the quote, the paperwork and the invoice.

Mississippi at a glance
What Mississippi makes and moves.
Northeast Mississippi has a large furniture industry centered on Tupelo. The Delta raises catfish: Humphreys County keeps about 40,000 acres in ponds, and a governor named Belzoni the Farm-Raised Catfish Capital of the World in 1976. Central Mississippi processes poultry, with several plants in Forest on I-20. On the coast, the state port at Gulfport is chasing container and intermodal growth, and the Army Corps has recommended a deeper channel there. Up north, DeSoto County has become the Memphis metro's second-most populous county.
Each of those industries buys pallets its own way. Upholstery and case-goods plants need custom sizes and smooth decks. Catfish and poultry processors run freezers and wash-down floors. Warehouses in Olive Branch, Southaven and Horn Lake ship like the rest of the Memphis market, on recycled 48x40s. Gulf Coast importers and exporters need HT pallets for anything that sails out of Gulfport or Pascagoula.
Who buys pallets here
The docks that run on pallets in Mississippi.
- 01
Tupelo-area furniture plants
Furniture factories around Tupelo and across northeast Mississippi build upholstered and wood pieces. Big, soft items need wide or custom-length pallets with smooth top decks so fabric doesn't snag, and plants ship finished goods out along I-22 and US-45 to furniture retailers.
Manufacturing → - 02
Delta catfish processors
Processing plants around Belzoni and the Delta fillet, freeze and box farm-raised catfish for grocery and restaurant buyers. Freezers and wet floors wear out weak wood, so buyers here ask for AAA recycled or new pallets with tight deckboards and no loose nails.
Food & beverage → - 03
Scott County poultry plants
Several poultry processing plants operate in Forest, with I-20 carrying chilled and frozen product east to Meridian and west to Jackson. Cold storage and wash-down rooms call for sound, dry pallets that won't crack or shed nails on the line.
Food & beverage → - 04
DeSoto County distribution
Warehouses in Olive Branch, Southaven and Horn Lake sit inside the Memphis metro, close to I-55, I-69 and I-269. They ship regional orders on recycled 48x40s and need dependable grading across every truck that backs in, plus block pallets where automation requires them.

How freight moves
Ports, rail and interstates.
I-55 runs from New Orleans through Jackson to Memphis, and I-20 crosses the state from Vicksburg through Jackson and Forest to Meridian, where I-20 and I-59 continue together into Alabama. I-22 follows US-78 past Tupelo toward Birmingham, and I-269 loops through DeSoto County. US-49 links Jackson with Gulfport. Container exporters can sail from the Port of Gulfport, Mississippi River ports at Vicksburg and Greenville handle barge freight, and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway serves the northeast.

Which pallet to order
The right grade for Mississippi.
Tupelo-area furniture plants should plan on custom sizes, often wider than 48x40, with smooth decks. Catfish and poultry plants do better with AAA or new pallets that hold up in freezers and wash-down rooms. DeSoto County warehouses run Grade A and Grade B 48x40 stringers like the rest of the Memphis market. Exports through Gulfport need HT pallets with the ISPM 15 mark. Tell your account manager what your receivers accept, and the grade spec comes back in writing.
