Local picture
What moves through Birmingham.
Steel and metals mean dense concentrated loads that routinely exceed standard racked ratings.
Birmingham sits in Jefferson County, served by I-20, I-59, I-65 and I-459. The local freight base is steel and metals, healthcare, distribution, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
Birmingham is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 585 miles away. That works for full trailer loads and program volume; for a few hundred units, a local yard will beat us and we will say so.

Questions
Pallets in Birmingham.
Can you deliver pallets to Birmingham?
Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Birmingham is about 585 road miles from our yard, about 9 hours to birmingham.
Do you collect used pallets from Birmingham?
Collection at this distance only works on volume — a full trailer of sorted cores, or a program arrangement. For smaller quantities a regional recycler is the right call. See sell your pallets.
What do pallets cost in Birmingham?
Recycled 48×40 GMA has run roughly $7.50 to $12.00 for Grade A and $5.00 to $8.50 for Grade B in our home market, before freight. Delivered pricing to Birmingham depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.
