Frequently Asked Questions

Can you supply pallets for a large distribution center in Shorter, Alabama?

Yes, we specialize in high-volume pallet programs for distribution centers in Shorter and throughout Macon County. We have supplied DCs from 50,000 to 1M+ sq ft with scheduled weekly pallet delivery. Drop trailer programs allow us to maintain a buffer of pallets on-site, eliminating supply disruptions. Contact us with your weekly pallet requirement and we'll design a Shorter supply program around your operational needs.

What is a drop trailer pallet program and how does it work in Shorter?

A drop trailer program means we leave a loaded trailer at your Shorter facility. You unload it at your pace using your own dock equipment. When you're done, you call us to swap it out for a fresh loaded trailer. This eliminates the constraint of live-unload delivery windows and ensures you always have pallets on-site. Drop trailer programs are ideal for Macon County DCs with limited receiving windows or 24/7 operations.

What grade of pallets should a distribution center in Shorter use?

For most DC applications in Shorter, recycled Grade A or Grade B pallets are the optimal choice - they perform reliably and cost 40-60% less than new pallets. Grade A for outbound shipping where appearance matters, Grade B for internal product movement and storage. New pallets are recommended when pallets leave your facility with product (retail distribution where the pallet is presented at store level). We can set up a mixed-grade program for your Shorter DC.
