01 / FREIGHT BANDS
Distance decides almost everything
What your location changes
The unit price barely moves across the country. The freight per unit moves enormously, and so does whether we can pair your delivery with a collection on the return leg.
| Distance | Transit | How it runs | Equipment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indianapolis metro | Same day | Local delivery or yard pickup the same day, during yard hours. | Flatbed, box truck or your own trailer at our dock. |
| under 300 miles | Next day | A single-driver run from our dock, usually delivered the next business morning. | Company flatbed or dry van, 45 to 48 units single-stacked. |
| under 500 miles | 1 – 2 days | Comfortably inside a one-day drive, so delivery windows are firm and freight is cheap per unit. | Company truck on a full load, partner carrier for LTL. |
| under 800 miles | 2 – 3 days | A two-day lane we run most weeks, frequently paired with a buyback collection on the return leg. | Company truck on full truckloads, vetted partner carrier below 24 units. |
| under 1300 miles | 3 – 4 days | Partner carrier territory. Full truckloads are far more economical than LTL at this distance. | Partner flatbed or dry van, 45 to 90 units depending on configuration. |
| 1,500+ miles | 4 – 6 days | A long lane, so we quote full truckloads and consolidate buyback collections into the same trip. | Partner carrier, full truckload strongly preferred. |

C / COMPATIBILITY
Will HDPE hold it?
Sixteen cargo families, rated
HDPE is brilliant at most things and hopeless at a few. Where the answer is C, we will point you at stainless rather than sell you a container that will craze.
| Cargo family | HDPE | Seat | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water, potable and non-potable | A | EPDM / silicone | Food-history units for potable |
| Acids and caustics, aqueous | A | EPDM / PTFE | Vent fuming cargo |
| Liquid fertiliser, UAN, NPK | A | EPDM | SG up to 1.32 — check your lift-gate |
| Brine and chloride de-icer | A | EPDM | Hard on galvanising, kind to HDPE |
| Food syrups, oils, concentrates | A | Silicone / Viton | Documented food history only |
| Glycols | A | EPDM | Very common; SG 1.04–1.11 |
| Alcohols | A | Viton / PTFE | Flammable — bond and vent |
| Diesel and gas oil | B | Viton / NBR | Permeates slowly over long storage |
| Mineral spirits | B | Viton | Swells HDPE slowly |
| Surfactants and detergents | B | EPDM | Odour fixation risk — dedicate units |
| Latex, adhesives, water-based paint | A | EPDM | Cures if left. Wash promptly. |
| Ketones, aromatics, chlorinated solvents | C | — | Crazes HDPE. Stainless only. |
| Gasoline and low-conductivity fuels | C | — | Static risk. Steel or stainless. |
| Essential oils, flavour concentrates | C | — | Fixes into the wall permanently. Never. |
| Hydrogen peroxide above 10% | C | — | Decomposition and pressure risk |
| Dairy and hot-fill above 140 °F | C | — | Needs CIP and steam. Stainless. |
Permeation
Small non-polar molecules pass slowly through HDPE rather than attacking it. The bottle looks perfect and your cargo quietly leaves. It is a storage-duration problem: diesel for a week is fine, diesel for a year is not.
Crazing
Ketones, aromatics and chlorinated solvents cause fine surface cracking that propagates under stress. It is invisible until you hold the wall against a raking light, and it is a critical grading failure.
Odour fixation
Terpenes and some surfactants dissolve into the polymer itself rather than sitting on the surface. No wash removes them. This is why a food-grade tote has to have been a food tote from new.
06 / SPECIFICATION
Match the grade to the duty
Do not buy more container than the job needs
We will talk you down a grade when the duty allows it. A Grade A food-history unit holding roof water is money set on fire, and we would rather sell you the right thing twice than the wrong thing once.
| Duty | Grade | Seat | Lid | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liquid fertiliser, ag-chem | B | EPDM | Vented | Cosmetics have no value in a muddy field |
| Food, beverage, edible cargo | A, food history | Silicone / EPDM | Solid, sealed | History and documentation, not appearance |
| Industrial chemistry, regulated | A, re-marked | Viton / PTFE | Vented if fuming | A current UN marking is the deliverable |
| Solvents, oils, fuels | A or B | Viton | Vented | EPDM swells in oils |
| De-icer and brine | B or C | EPDM | Solid | Chloride is kind to HDPE, harsh on steel |
| Jobsite and non-potable water | C | EPDM | Vented | Sound, stained, cheapest thing we sell |
| Dust suppression, irrigation | C | EPDM | Vented | Grade C's natural home |
| Rain capture, planters, builds | C | Brass tap | Screened | Units that failed cargo grading |
| Glycol, CIP chemistry | B / C | EPDM | Vented for peracid | Dedicate the unit, never rotate |
E / GRADING
A grade is a promise, not a mood
How every unit is scored
We publish the whole system because a grade without written criteria is just an opinion with a price tag. Nineteen points, fixed thresholds, one card per unit, seven years on file.
| # | Point | Critical? |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Prior cargo declaration — present, written, specific | Yes |
| 02 | Residual liquid — any volume at all | Yes |
| 03 | Odour after wash — fixed odour by trained nose | Yes |
| 04 | Bottle corner stress whitening | No |
| 05 | Interior scoring you can feel | No |
| 06 | Interior crazing — fine surface cracking | Yes |
| 07 | Bottle bulge or deformation | Yes |
| 08 | Wall thickness at the thinnest point | Yes |
| 09 | Dome port condition and flange flatness | No |
| 10 | Outlet threads — cross-threading, chipping | Yes if crossed |
| 11 | Valve function, full open and close | No, replaceable |
| 12 | Gasket condition — compression set, bloom | No, replaceable |
| 13 | Cage squareness along the top rail | No, pressable |
| 14 | Cage weld integrity at tube intersections | Yes |
| 15 | Cage coating and galvanising loss | No |
| 16 | Pallet condition — cracked feet, rot, corrosion | No, replaceable |
| 17 | Forklift pocket integrity | No |
| 18 | UN marking legibility and date | No, re-markable |
| 19 | Leak test under our procedure | Yes |
08 / DOCUMENTATION
Paperwork is part of the product
What arrives with the load
A reconditioned tote without documentation is a liability. Every unit carries a written record, and we keep our copy for seven years.
| Document | Scope | What it proves |
|---|---|---|
| Grade card | Per unit | Nineteen inspection points, inspector initials, date, grade |
| Wash record | Per unit | Cargo class, chemistry, temperature, dwell, rinse, operator |
| Prior-cargo declaration | Per unit | Everything the container has ever held, verbatim |
| Leak test result | Per re-marked unit | Pass value and method under 49 CFR 178.801 |
| Chain-of-custody letter | On request | Where the container came from and where it went |
| Diversion certificate | Quarterly, on request | Mass diverted and emissions avoided, on letterhead |
D / ORDERING
Commercial terms, up front

F / END OF LIFE
Reuse first, recycle last
What happens when the container is finally finished
Every unit that arrives is assessed down this list, in this order. 99.4% of incoming mass avoided landfill in 2024, and reuse plus repair accounted for over three quarters of it.
| Step | Outcome | Share of mass | Cost to us |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Reuse as is — wash and redeploy | 63.9% | 11 gal of mostly reclaimed water |
| 02 | Repair and reuse — valve, gasket, pallet, cage | 11.4% | Parts and bench time |
| 03 | Rebottle — new bottle, reclaimed steel | 9.6% | A new bottle, two thirds of mass retained |
| 04 | Upcycle — rain kits, grow beds, wash stations | 3.2% | Fabrication time |
| 05 | Material recovery — HDPE regrind, steel, wood | 11.3% | Grinding, washing, drying energy |
| 06 | Residual to licensed disposal | 0.6% | Sludge, gasket rubber, fasteners, laminates |
