Pallets in Evansville, IN
In short
River port, pharmaceutical manufacturing and appliance supply — three very different pallet specifications in one small market. We serve Evansville biweekly standing route from 10400 Evendale Dr, Cincinnati, OH 45241, 227 miles and roughly 3 hours 30 minutes away — buying used pallets and cores, delivering graded recycled and custom-built stock, and recycling everything that cannot be resold.

What makes Evansville different
Evansville packs an unusual amount of specification diversity into a modest metro. Pharmaceutical manufacturing wants documented, clean, uniform stock. Appliance supply wants large footprints and damage-free edges. River terminal work wants heavy-duty units that survive outdoor staging and barge handling. One delivery here frequently carries three different grades.
How we run the lane
Biweekly standing route down US-41 and I-69, pairing well with our Louisville lane. Newburgh, Princeton, Mount Vernon and the Ohio River terminals are the regular stops.
The local pallet market
Good two-way lane. Outbound is mixed-grade and custom; inbound core supply is steady and generally dry, because sites here tend to have covered storage. Barge-side cores are the exception and are quoted as wet stock.
