Local picture

What moves through Trenton.

Sits between the Philadelphia and New York markets and prices against whichever is closer.

Trenton sits in Mercer County, served by I-95, I-295 and US-1. The local freight base is state government, manufacturing, distribution, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Trenton is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 530 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 Trenton.

Can you deliver pallets to Trenton?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Trenton is about 530 road miles from our yard, about 8 hours 30 minutes.

Do you collect used pallets from Trenton?

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 Trenton?

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

What is the local industry mix?

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