Chicago Tribune-published wholesale grocery cooperatives use returnable-pallet programs; our buyback pricing for Grade A returns supports cost-control for SUPERVALU, Kehe, and UNFI distribution networks.

Port of Chicago Calumet Harbor and Joliet inland-port operations require ISPM-15 documentation for export loads; we coordinate with Illinois International Port District and Joliet Terminal Railroad for certified loads.

Standard 48x40 GMA pallets feature 5/8 inch deck boards with a 4-board face pattern; bottom configuration is 3-board for four-way fork entry; nail pattern uses 2.5 inch screw-shank galvanized fasteners.

Recycled-Grade A pallets meet 48x40 GMA spec with cosmetic wear only; no broken boards, no replaced stringers, all original GMA stamp visible; suitable for primary food-grade and pharmaceutical loads.

Delivery and logistics

Flatbed delivery handles oversized loads or pallets with overhanging product; tarping included; preferred for export crates and bulk lumber shipments.
