Local picture

What moves through Roanoke.

A Norfolk Southern rail town on the I-81 distribution corridor.

Roanoke sits in Roanoke City, served by I-81, I-581 and US-220. The local freight base is rail, manufacturing, healthcare, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Roanoke 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 Roanoke.

Can you deliver pallets to Roanoke?

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

Do you collect used pallets from Roanoke?

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 Roanoke?

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

What is the local industry mix?

Rail, Manufacturing, Healthcare. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
