Local picture
What moves through Portland.
The state's freight centre; seafood processing means hygiene specification drives the conversation.
Portland sits in Cumberland County, served by I-95, I-295 and US-1. The local freight base is port freight, seafood processing, distribution, 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, Portland 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.

Can you deliver pallets to Portland?
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. Portland is about 830 road miles from our yard, about 13 hours.
Do you collect used pallets from Portland?
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.
