Used pallets in Stafford, VA

Amazon Fulfillment Services and Amazon Logistics are e-commerce sites; McLane Mid Atlantic is a grocery wholesale distributor; Federal Express is parcel; Hilldrup Transfer and Storage is a moving and storage company. Between them they cover the main pallet users in the region: plain 48x40 stock in bulk, grocery freight, parcel handling and household goods.

A moving and storage company is the odd one. It uses pallets and crates to stage household goods and commercial moves, and what it sheds is mixed in size and condition.

Stafford is a long drive from the District, so a pickup should be a trailer’s worth or a regular flow, not a one-off handful. Five ZIP codes cover the county in the market data, including 22406, 22554, 22405, 22556 and 22134. Fredericksburg is just south.

How many trailers of empties a month. Whether the pallets are plain wood. Whether anyone at the site already sorts them. A fulfillment dock that sorts by size and grade is worth a standing arrangement; see dock programs. A moving company should describe the mix honestly, since the sort drives the value.

A standing arrangement in Stafford runs on three facts. The first is how many trailers of empties the dock fills in a month. The second is whether the empties are sorted, because a sorted trailer is a sale and an unsorted one is a job. The third is whether the dock can stage trailers for a driver to pick up without waiting.

The county is a long way from the District, so a pickup makes sense only when the volume justifies the distance. A site that fills a trailer a month is worth planning around. A site that has twenty pallets is better joined to a neighbor’s route.

Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County are the next two pages south. The fulfillment page says what a dock like Amazon’s typically asks.
