Operational details for Pennsylvania

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.

Pennsylvania regulatory context

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation oversize-load permits restrict pallet shipments via I-76 Turnpike, I-78, and I-81; our DOT-permitted carriers handle Philadelphia-area, Harrisburg-corridor, and Pittsburgh routing.

Lancaster County agricultural packers require ISPM-15 documentation for produce export to Canada; we maintain seasonal inventory at Harrisburg and Lancaster yards for Pennsylvania Dutch wholesale distribution.

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.
