Colorado Springs, on a weekly consolidated route
Seventy miles south of the yard, which means we run it properly on a schedule rather than badly on demand.
Request pricing
Everything marked with a star is required. The rest helps us quote faster.
RePallet Co. serves Colorado Springs, Fountain, Monument, Castle Rock and Pueblo on consolidated weekly routes from its Denver yard. Collection is typically within a week; free above roughly 500 units.
The volume threshold is higher than in the metro because the run is 140 miles round trip. Paired runs — a delivery that also collects — remove most of that difference.
How the route works
- 1
You tell us the volume and cadence
Even a rough monthly figure lets us slot you into an existing run rather than creating a new one.
- 2
We consolidate
Southern runs carry several customers. That is what makes the freight economics work at this distance.
- 3
Scheduled, not on demand
Typically one to two runs a week depending on season. You get a window rather than a same-day option.
- 4
Paired where possible
A delivery to Monument that also collects in Fountain is one trip. Mention if you both receive and generate.
Coverage and thresholds
| Location | Round trip | Free collection above | Typical window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Castle Rock | 60 mi | 400 units | 3 – 5 business days |
| Monument | 100 mi | 450 units | Within a week |
| Colorado Springs (north) | 130 mi | 500 units | Within a week |
| Colorado Springs (south) / Fountain | 150 mi | 500 units | Within a week |
| Pueblo | 220 mi | 700 units | Fortnightly consolidated |
| Cañon City / Florence | 250 mi | By arrangement | Fortnightly consolidated |
What the Springs generates
A different mix from Denver. Defence and aerospace suppliers, a growing distribution base along the I-25 corridor, a substantial brewing scene, and construction that tracks the region's housing growth closely.
- Aerospace and defence suppliers — custom crating and export skids more than standard pallets.
- Distribution centres along the north I-25 corridor — steady 48x40 generation.
- Breweries — keg squares, same seasonal shape as the rest of Colorado.
- Construction and building products — heavy-duty stock, 48x42 and 48x48, and a lot of one-way dunnage.
- Military installations — through prime contractors rather than directly.
If you are in aerospace or defence supply, the conversation is usually about custom crating and ISPM 15 rather than about pallet grades.

Making a weekly route work for you
Seventy miles is far enough that ad-hoc service is genuinely poor value, and close enough that a scheduled route is excellent value. The difference is entirely down to planning.
- 1
Tell us your rhythm, not your crisis
'About 400 units every six weeks' gets you a permanent slot. 'We are full' gets whatever is available.
- 2
Batch with your neighbours
Three sites in the same industrial park is one stop, not three. We will happily coordinate, and everybody pays less.
- 3
Pair deliveries with collections
If you both buy and generate, one trip does both and the freight line roughly halves.
- 4
Give a window rather than a time
A four-hour window on a consolidated route is worth real money against a fixed appointment.
- 5
Plan around I-25
Monument to Castle Rock is the constraint. Weather and traffic there set the reliability of the whole southern route.
| Arrangement | Freight treatment | Effect on your rate |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated trip, urgent | Full cost of a 140-mile round trip | Baseline |
| Dedicated trip, flexible date | Same, better scheduled | +4% |
| Consolidated with other customers | Shared across the run | +11% |
| Consolidated and paired with a delivery | One leg, two purposes | +19% |
| Standing route, forecast | Planned capacity | +23% |
Aerospace, defence and export crating
The most common southern-route job is not pallets at all. It is a crate for something expensive that has to arrive square.
- Load spreaders under machine feet, sized to the actual bearing area rather than the footprint.
- Measured centre of gravity, marked on all four faces. Drawings are frequently 50 – 100 mm out.
- Lifting and sling points specified for the equipment that will actually handle it at each stage.
- Block-and-brace or suspension for shock-sensitive contents.
- Moisture strategy — kiln-dried timber, desiccant sized to void volume, VCI wrap, filtered breather vents.
- ISPM 15 applied after construction so fasteners and bracing are inside the treated envelope.
- Treated spare timber shipped with the crate so a repair at destination does not invalidate compliance.
Crating is built in Denver and delivered on the southern route, which means a build for a Colorado Springs customer typically arrives on a scheduled run rather than a dedicated one. Factor that into the lead time and it is rarely a constraint.
Questions people actually ask
Do you really come this far for pallets?
What if I need something urgently?
Can you deliver custom crates to the Springs?
Is Pueblo covered?
Do you have a depot in Colorado Springs?
Can I collect from your yard instead?
How reliable is the schedule in winter?
Do you serve Pueblo regularly?
What about the San Luis Valley and the south-west?
Let's keep your pallets in the loop
Whether you have 40 broken cores behind the dock or need 4,000 Grade A pallets a month, the conversation starts the same way.
