Operational details for Florida

Compliance specification

FSMA Section 204 traceability supported on every food-grade load; pallet ID linked to the lumber lot, kiln batch, and dispatch ticket in our chain-of-custody database.

Florida regulatory context

Florida's 'Right to Inspect' law allows commercial customers to audit pallet treatment records on 24-hour notice; our digital records portal supports same-day access.

Florida DOACS regulations require ISPM-15 documentation on every export load originating from PortMiami, Port Everglades, JAXPORT, and Port Tampa Bay; we maintain on-call certification staff at all four ports.

Pallet specification detail

Lumber spec for new GMA stock: mixed hardwood (oak, maple, ash, hickory) with minimum 600 SG (specific gravity); kiln dried to <19% moisture; visible defects limited to wane on outer 1/3 of deck board only.

Block pallets (four-way entry) use nine 4-inch hardwood blocks with continuous-face top deck; ideal for ASRS (automated storage and retrieval) and AGV (automated guided vehicle) operations where stringer interruptions cause read-failures.

Delivery and logistics

Live-load operations bring the trailer to your dock for a 90-minute window; loader/unloader provided; suited to customers without dedicated dock space or with intermittent volume.

Customer use case

Restaurant supply distributors move pallets between regional warehouses and individual restaurants on small-truck (26-foot box truck) routes; we offer mini-pallet 24x24 and 32x32 builds for restaurant kitchen door access.

Pricing context

Pricing structure: new 48x40 GMA stock ranges $14-18 per pallet in 500+ lot pricing; recycled Grade A runs $7-10 per pallet; recycled Grade B at $5-7; custom builds priced per spec on a quote basis.

Sustainability

Lumber sourcing prioritizes regional Southeast US hardwood mills (FL, AL, GA, MS); reduces transport carbon vs Pacific Northwest stock; supports regional logging economies.
