Local picture
What moves through Charlotte.
One of the major inland logistics markets in the Southeast, with deep local pallet supply.
Charlotte sits in Mecklenburg County, served by I-77, I-85, I-485 and US-74. The local freight base is distribution, finance, rail intermodal, manufacturing, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
Charlotte is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 430 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.

Do you collect used pallets from Charlotte?
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.
