Montana regional shipping and logistics
Standing-order programs schedule a recurring weekly truckload (or partial) for the same delivery window; price-locked for 12 months; preferred for 3PL warehouse refill cycles.
Same-day delivery available within 75 miles of our Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, and Lakeland yards; minimum 24 pallets; small-order pricing applies on freight.
Pallet specification detail
Recycled-Grade B pallets meet structural spec but may have up to 2 replaced deck boards; suitable for industrial loads outside food/pharma; price point 30-40% below new GMA.
Pallet weight: new GMA averages 38-42 lb per unit; recycled Grade A averages 35-39 lb; lighter chemical-industry 40x40 pallets weigh 28-32 lb; freight estimation should use 40 lb/pallet for inbound planning.
Delivery and logistics
Buyback programs pay current market rate for returned pallets in Grade A condition; minimum 50 pallets per pickup; integrated with our recycling stream for sustainability reporting.
Customer use case
Concrete and aggregate suppliers use bagged-goods stringers (heavier construction, denser nail pattern) to support 4,000+ lb cement-sack loads; we stock these in our Tampa Bay and Jacksonville warehouses.
Pricing context
Buyback pricing for returned pallets: $3-5 per Grade A unit; $1-2 per Grade B; minimum 50-pallet pickup; integrated with our recycling stream for sustainability accounting.
Sustainability
Pallet pooling reduces lifecycle waste 40-60% vs single-use models; our pool program manages inventory between participating customers with quarterly reconciliation.
