Local picture

What moves through Fairbanks.

The interior supply hub, reached by rail and road from Anchorage.

Fairbanks sits in Fairbanks North Star Borough, served by AK-2, AK-3 and Alaska Railroad. The local freight base is mining, defence, logistics, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 4200 miles, Fairbanks is outside the range where hauling routine stock from Ohio makes economic sense. What does travel is specification: engineered builds, export crating and program design, where the value sits in the drawing rather than in the wood.

Questions

Pallets in Fairbanks.

Can you deliver pallets to Fairbanks?

Reachable on project freight and through our sourcing network. For routine weekly supply, a yard closer to you will almost certainly beat us on delivered cost, and we will say so. Fairbanks is about 4200 road miles from our yard, sea or air freight only.

Do you collect used pallets from Fairbanks?

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 Fairbanks?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Mining, Defence, Logistics. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
