Local picture

What moves through Hobbs.

Permian Basin energy services, where everything is heavy and nothing comes back.

Hobbs sits in Lea County, served by US-62, US-180 and NM-18. The local freight base is oil and gas, energy services, logistics, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 1400 miles, Hobbs 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 Hobbs.

Can you deliver pallets to Hobbs?

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. Hobbs is about 1400 road miles from our yard, about 21 hours.

Do you collect used pallets from Hobbs?

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 Hobbs?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Oil and gas, Energy services, Logistics. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
