Alabama regional shipping and logistics
Standing-order programs schedule a recurring weekly truckload (or partial) for the same delivery window; price-locked for 12 months; preferred for 3PL warehouse refill cycles.
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.
What are the pallet specifications?
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.
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.

Customer use case
Citrus packers in Indian River County require Florida-specific phytosanitary documentation per USDA Marketing Order 905; we provide the documentation on every load.

Sustainability
Sustainability reports provided quarterly to standing-order customers; documents pallets recycled, lumber diverted from landfill, and CO2-equivalent savings vs new-only sourcing.
