Three ways we deliver

Regional service and nationwide freight

The best option depends on where the product is coming from, where it is going and how much you need.

01
Regional delivery

National Salt Truck

Our semi serves customers generally within approximately 200 miles of Bellefontaine, Ohio.

  • Six-pallet packaged-product minimum
  • Flatbed with a truck-mounted forklift
  • Enclosed van trailer for qualifying loads
  • Forklift unloading available when needed
Best for mixed full-pallet orders on our regular delivery routes.
02
Nationwide warehouse freight

Freight Partner

One of our freight partners picks up qualifying packaged orders at our Bellefontaine warehouse and delivers to your location.

  • Available across the United States
  • Ships from National Salt inventory
  • Freight coordinated by our team
  • Carrier and equipment matched to the order
Best for products shipping from our warehouse to destinations outside our regular routes.
03
Nationwide direct shipment

Manufacturer Direct

One of our freight partners picks up qualifying orders at the salt manufacturer and delivers directly to your location.

  • Available across the United States
  • Packaged and bulk salt options
  • Often suited to full-truckload quantities

How freight is determined
