Local picture
What moves through Columbia.
Three interstates converge here, making it the natural inland consolidation point.
Columbia sits in Richland County, served by I-20, I-26, I-77 and I-126. The local freight base is distribution, manufacturing, state government, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
Columbia is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 545 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 Columbia.
Can you deliver pallets to Columbia?
Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Columbia is about 545 road miles from our yard, about 8 hours 30 minutes.
Do you collect used pallets from Columbia?
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 Columbia?
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 Columbia 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, Manufacturing, State government. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
