Can Altoona customers run a buyback program alongside their pallet purchases?

What's the minimum order quantity for pallet rental?
50 pallets per order minimum on buy-side. Sell-side (buyback) minimum is 250 pallets per single-size load. Volume tiers kick in automatically as cumulative monthly volume increases - 500+/week accounts qualify for standing-order programs with reserved delivery slots.
