Local picture

What moves through Paterson.

Dense urban manufacturing with constrained docks, so smaller formats and live unloads are the norm.

Paterson sits in Passaic County, served by I-80, NJ-19 and US-46. The local freight base is food processing, textiles, distribution, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Paterson is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 530 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 Paterson.

Can you deliver pallets to Paterson?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Paterson is about 530 road miles from our yard, about 8 hours 30 minutes.

Do you collect used pallets from Paterson?

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 Paterson?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Food processing, Textiles, Distribution. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
