Compliance specification

Heat-treatment chamber maintained at 56C core for 30 minutes per ISPM-15 Annex 1; each load shipped with a treatment certificate signed by a USDA-registered inspector.

Maryland regional shipping and logistics

Buyback programs pay current market rate for returned pallets in Grade A condition; minimum 50 pallets per pickup; integrated with our recycling stream for sustainability reporting.

Live-load operations bring the trailer to your dock for a 90-minute window; loader/unloader provided; suited to customers without dedicated dock space or with intermittent volume.

Pallet specification detail

Recycled-Grade B pallets meet structural spec but may have up to 2 replaced deck boards; suitable for industrial loads outside food/pharma; price point 30-40% below new GMA.

Block pallets (four-way entry) use nine 4-inch hardwood blocks with continuous-face top deck; ideal for ASRS (automated storage and retrieval) and AGV (automated guided vehicle) operations where stringer interruptions cause read-failures.

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.

Customer use case

Bakery operations typically order weekly 48x40 GMA stock for flour and sugar inbound, plus 36x36 for retail-ready display loads; common customers in the Tampa Bay area include large wholesale and grocery-aligned bakeries.
