Washington regulatory context

Washington State Department of Transportation oversize-load permits restrict pallet shipments via I-5, I-90, and I-82; our WSDOT-permitted carriers handle Puget Sound, Yakima Valley, and Spokane-corridor routing.

Pallet specification detail

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.

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.
