Local picture

What moves through Greensboro.

The I-40/I-85 crossing and a substantial air cargo operation at PTI.

Greensboro sits in Guilford County, served by I-40, I-85, I-73 and I-840. The local freight base is distribution, furniture, air cargo, textiles, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Greensboro 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.

Questions

Pallets in Greensboro.

Can you deliver pallets to Greensboro?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Greensboro is about 430 road miles from our yard, about 7 hours to charlotte.

Do you collect used pallets from Greensboro?

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 Greensboro?

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

What is the local industry mix?

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