Local picture

What moves through Augusta.

Paper and pulp operations produce dense loads and want flat, consistent decks.

Augusta sits in Richmond County, served by I-20, I-520, US-1 and US-25. The local freight base is paper and pulp, chemicals, medical, defence, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Augusta is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 570 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 Augusta.

Can you deliver pallets to Augusta?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Augusta is about 570 road miles from our yard, about 9 hours.

Do you collect used pallets from Augusta?

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 Augusta?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Paper and pulp, Chemicals, Medical, Defence. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
