New York State Department of Transportation oversize-load permits restrict pallet shipments via I-87 Thruway and I-95; our DOT-permitted carriers handle JFK-area, Albany-corridor, and Buffalo-Niagara routing.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Part 360 regulates wood pallet recycling; our partner facilities in Long Island City, Brooklyn, and Newburgh maintain NYSDEC Part 360 permits for return-stream service.

Pallet specification detail

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.

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

Drop-trailer programs maintain a customer-dedicated 53-foot trailer on-site; we swap full-for-empty on a scheduled 24/48/72-hour rotation; preferred for high-throughput dock operations.
