Local picture

What moves through Richmond.

The I-64/I-95 crossing makes it the consolidation point for the whole mid-Atlantic.

Richmond sits in Richmond City, served by I-64, I-95, I-295 and I-195. The local freight base is distribution, paper and packaging, finance, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Richmond is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 465 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 Richmond.

Can you deliver pallets to Richmond?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders. Richmond is about 465 road miles from our yard, about 7 hours 15 minutes.

Do you collect used pallets from Richmond?

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 Richmond?

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 Richmond 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, Paper and packaging, Finance. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
