Pallets FREE PALLETS are typically found at trucking terminals or anywhere that trucks make freight deliveries - hardware and grocery stores, shopping centers, storage facilities, next to dumpsters.TIPS: Terminal Drops: Many shippers will call ahead to the terminal to confirm that they have a pile of used pallets available, for shippers to use. The shipper will then bring their boxes or pieces of cargo to the terminal, grab a pallet from the pile and stack their freight. The terminal will usually have shrink wrap available. Tip the dock worker and most will be happy to help. Carriers charge "accessorial fees" for residential and lift gate service. Palletizing at the terminal can save hundreds of dollars if you are shipping from a residence. Stretch wrap can be purchased on Amazon or locally at Uhaul, and WALMART back in hardware next to moving blankets. Always go around the base of the pallet several times with the wrap. |
