Local picture

What moves through Dalton.

The carpet capital of the world; rolls need long purpose-built platforms, not standard footprints.

Dalton sits in Whitfield County, served by I-75, US-41 and SR-3. The local freight base is carpet and flooring, manufacturing, distribution, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Dalton 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 Dalton.

Can you deliver pallets to Dalton?

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

Do you collect used pallets from Dalton?

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 Dalton?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Carpet and flooring, Manufacturing, Distribution. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
