Illinois regulatory context

Port of Chicago Calumet Harbor and Joliet inland-port operations require ISPM-15 documentation for export loads; we coordinate with Illinois International Port District and Joliet Terminal Railroad for certified loads.

Illinois Department of Transportation oversize-load permits restrict pallet shipments via I-55, I-57, and I-80; our IDOT-permitted carriers handle Chicago-area, Springfield-corridor, and Quad Cities routing.

Pallet specification detail

Block pallets (four-way entry) use nine 4-inch hardwood blocks with continuous-face top deck; ideal for ASRS (automated storage and retrieval) and AGV (automated guided vehicle) operations where stringer interruptions cause read-failures.
