Local picture
What moves through Washington.
Restricted delivery windows and no yard space mean smaller formats and live unloads.
Washington sits in District of Columbia, served by I-95, I-395, I-495 and US-50. The local freight base is federal government, food service distribution, construction, hospitality, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
Washington is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 400 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 Washington.
Can you deliver pallets to Washington?
Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Washington is about 400 road miles from our yard, about 6 hours 15 minutes.
Do you collect used pallets from Washington?
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 Washington?
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 Washington depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.
What is the local industry mix?
Federal government, Food service distribution, Construction, Hospitality. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
