Pallets in Pennsylvania, 185 miles from our gate.

Sorted by type, not by convenience. Pooled units go back to the pool; plastic runs a separate stream entirely.

What ships here

Pennsylvania, in freight terms.

Pennsylvania is two very different markets. Western Pennsylvania, which we reach on our own trailers biweekly on I-70 to I-79, is metals, energy services and a fast-growing warehouse cluster along I-79 north toward Cranberry. The terrain makes the run slower than the mileage suggests and we price it that way rather than pretending it is a two-hour lane.

Eastern Pennsylvania is a different animal entirely. The Lehigh Valley and the I-81 corridor through Harrisburg and Scranton hold one of the densest concentrations of new distribution space built anywhere in the last decade, serving the New York and Philadelphia populations without paying their land prices. Pallet turnover there is enormous and local supply is correspondingly deep.

Energy services work in the Marcellus generates a specific kind of demand: heavy, concentrated loads landing on rough sites, closer in profile to construction supply than to distribution. Those want heavy-deck expendable stock rather than Grade A, and buying up a grade there is money spent on structural margin nobody will use.

Local economy

Metals and specialty manufacturing, energy services across the Marcellus, food processing, and one of the largest warehouse build-outs in the country along I-78 and I-81.

What we send there

Heavy-deck expendable stock for energy services, 48×40 GMA for the I-79 and I-81 distribution clusters, custom crating for specialty manufacturing.

Questions

Buying pallets in Pennsylvania.

Do you deliver to Pennsylvania?

We run our own equipment into this state on a repeating weekly or biweekly pattern, which is what keeps the delivered price competitive.

What is the minimum order into Pennsylvania?

A partial trailer, around 260 units, on our own equipment. Smaller quantities are possible when a truck is already routed past you.

What footprints move most in Pennsylvania?

Heavy-deck expendable stock for energy services, 48×40 GMA for the I-79 and I-81 distribution clusters, custom crating for specialty manufacturing.

Can you quote a custom build here?

Yes, anywhere. Custom and engineered work is quoted from a drawing and shipped as project freight, and the distance economics are completely different from routine stock. See custom builds.
