There is probably an example of everything. Having said that, that is not the typical movement pattern. Most cases the shipment moves over 100 miles and so goes through at least one yard. I know of one example where a bag company sourced paper from a paper mill within 5 miles of the plant. But that was the exception. More commonly the shipment goes hundreds of miles (mostly because truck is cheaper on a shorter distance).
