Buying in Idaho
Idaho preserves fruit and vegetables at 7.6 times the national concentration, and food manufacturing employs 21,363. Frozen and packed produce leaves on 48 x 40s into the state’s 58 million cubic feet of refrigerated space. Warehousing is small and centered on Boise: Ada County has 1,025 jobs and Canyon 654. Bonneville County, around Idaho Falls, adds 175, and pharmaceutical manufacturing employs 365. Food plants here ship in seasonal peaks around the harvest, so give expected weekly quantities across the year, not just the first order, and deliveries can be planned against them. Its warehousing is small, 146 establishments and 0.13% of the national total, and auto parts employs 480.
Processors here run hard through harvest and slower the rest of the year, so the peak quantity matters as much as the annual one. Frozen vegetables are dense and racked; aging cheese stays loaded for months. Send both the peak and off-season counts, the load weight and how long pallets sit loaded, and the build is drawn for the hardest of those. Long hauls to distant markets are common, so pallets must hold their load through vibration and braking as well as in storage.
Send the size, the load per pallet, the quantity and a Idaho delivery ZIP. We write the build down as a spec, quote new pallets against it with delivery priced in, and reorders follow the same sheet.
