Hurricane preparedness regulations in Miami-Dade and Broward counties require commercial pallet inventory to be either secured (banded + tarped) or relocated above 12 feet by June 1 storm-season opening; our staging team manages compliance for recurring customers.

Florida Department of Transportation hauler permits restrict pallet loads above 80,000 lb GVW to specific corridors; our DOT-permitted carriers handle the routing.

Pallet specification detail
