Local picture

What moves through Mobile.

A deep-water port with aircraft assembly alongside it — two very different packaging profiles.

Mobile sits in Mobile County, served by I-10, I-65, I-165 and US-98. The local freight base is deep-water port, shipbuilding, aerospace assembly, chemicals, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Mobile 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 Mobile.

Can you deliver pallets to Mobile?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Mobile is about 585 road miles from our yard, about 9 hours to birmingham.

Do you collect used pallets from Mobile?

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 Mobile?

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 Mobile depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.

What is the local industry mix?

Deep-water port, Shipbuilding, Aerospace assembly, Chemicals. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
