What Ohio makes and ships

Ohio at a glance

Ohio freight rides I-70, I-71, I-75 and the Ohio Turnpike. South of Columbus, Rickenbacker pairs a cargo airport with a double-stack rail terminal, while Toledo works Lake Erie docks and Cincinnati-area barge terminals line the Ohio River.

Ohio builds heavy goods and ships them on pallets. Toledo still answers to the Glass City, and glassmaking remains part of its economy. Akron's rubber history has become a polymer cluster. Clyde builds washing machines, Findlay builds dishwashers, and Lima assembles tanks at an Army-owned plant. Out west, Mercer County packs eggs, and Ohio ranks second in egg production. Cincinnati houses household-products and grocery headquarters, and big retail DCs ring Columbus and sit along I-75 at Findlay.

That mix splits Ohio pallet orders three ways. Northern factories want heavy-duty stock: block pallets under glass and appliance parts, new lumber where a print calls for it. The Columbus and Findlay DCs run standard 48x40s and churn through recycled cores as trailers turn. Egg packers and food plants in western Ohio care about smooth top decks and boards that track straight on conveyors. A buyer in Toledo and one in Groveport rarely want the same build.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-71 links Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. I-75 runs Cincinnati–Dayton–Findlay–Toledo and on to the Detroit bridges into Ontario, I-70 cuts across the middle, and I-77 drops from Cleveland through Akron and Canton to Marietta. The Ohio Turnpike carries I-80 across the north. At Rickenbacker, an intermodal terminal sits beside the cargo airport, and double-stack trains run to the Port of Virginia on the Heartland Corridor. CVG's air-cargo ramps sit across the river in Hebron, Ky. The Port of Toledo works the mouth of the Maumee on Lake Erie.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Ohio.

For Columbus and Findlay DCs, Grade B recycled 48x40s handle most outbound store freight; step up to Grade A where a retailer rejects repaired boards. Glass, appliance and tank-parts suppliers should price block pallets or new custom sizes rated for the weight. Anything stuffed into a container at Rickenbacker for the Port of Virginia and an overseas buyer needs HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Western Ohio egg and food plants usually take AAA or new pallets with smooth decks. Whatever the mix, the spec is confirmed in writing before a truck is booked.

Cities and rules in Ohio

Buying pallets in Ohio: questions

Can you deliver pallets to DCs around Rickenbacker and Groveport?+
Yes. We bring full truckloads to warehouses across the Rickenbacker area, including Groveport, Obetz and Lockbourne, plus Etna and West Jefferson. Tell us the address, how the receiving desk schedules trucks and whether you run recycled or new 48x40s; grade and delivery details come back in writing before booking.
What pallet should a Toledo-area glass plant order?+
Usually a block pallet or a new stringer pallet built for the weight. Glass is heavy and concentrated, and one cracked deck board can mean broken product. Share the load weight, footprint and racking setup, and you'll get the build spec back in writing before anything is cut.
Do containers railed from Rickenbacker to the Port of Virginia need heat-treated pallets?+
If the box is going to an overseas buyer, plan on it. Most importing countries require wood packaging treated and marked under ISPM 15, and a missing mark can hold cargo at the destination port. Domestic freight doesn't need the stamp, though some receivers ask for it anyway.
What pallets work for egg packers in western Ohio?+
Most packers want high-grade or new 48x40s with smooth top decks, no raised nails and solid lead boards that run on conveyors and stretch wrappers. Explain how your grocery customers inspect pallets at receiving, and your account manager writes the grade spec to match.
Do you deliver to appliance and parts plants along I-75 in Findlay and Lima?+
Yes. We deliver to plants and warehouses along the I-75 corridor, including Findlay, Lima and Clyde off the Turnpike. Bulky appliance cartons and heavy parts often need custom footprints, so send dimensions and weights and your account manager puts the build on the quote.
Where can I buy pallets in Ohio?+
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 Ohio?+
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 Ohio?+
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.
