What ships here
Alabama, in freight terms.
Alabama has quietly become a major automotive state, with assembly plants and a tier-supplier network spread along I-65 and I-85. That network runs the familiar returnable-fleet pattern, and it is where our repair and fleet-management work travels best.
Forest products are the other half of the picture. Alabama is heavily forested and locally milled softwood is abundant, which narrows the price gap between new and recycled more than in most states — worth knowing before assuming recycled is automatically the cheaper option.
Aerospace and defence at Huntsville brings documented, engineered packaging requirements that are quoted as builds rather than sourced as stock.

Questions
Buying pallets in Alabama.
Do you deliver to Alabama?
Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.
What is the minimum order into Alabama?
A full trailer, roughly 330 units, for the freight to make sense. Below that, buy locally — you will be better off.
What footprints move most in Alabama?
Automotive footprints and fleet support, engineered crating for aerospace, heavy-deck for metals.
Can you quote a custom build here?
Yes, anywhere. Custom and engineered work is quoted from a drawing and shipped as project freight, and the distance economics are completely different from routine stock. See custom builds.
