Local picture

What moves through Bangor.

The gateway to the north woods; local softwood supply is abundant and cheap.

Bangor sits in Penobscot County, served by I-95, I-395 and US-2. The local freight base is forest products, healthcare, logistics, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

At roughly 830 miles, Bangor 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 Bangor.

Can you deliver pallets to Bangor?

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. Bangor is about 830 road miles from our yard, about 13 hours.

Do you collect used pallets from Bangor?

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 Bangor?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Forest products, Healthcare, Logistics. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
