Efficient, dependable pallet logistics built around your schedule. Our fleet of 40+ vehicles delivers and picks up pallets with same-day, next-day, and scheduled options. GPS-tracked, fully insured, and backed by a 99.5% on-time delivery rate.
Purpose-Built for Pallet Transportation
We maintain a diverse fleet of 40+ vehicles specifically configured for pallet transportation. From small urban deliveries to full truckloads, we have the right vehicle for every job.
Flatbed Trucks
Our workhorse fleet of flatbed trucks handles the majority of pallet loads efficiently. Open-deck design allows for maximum stacking height and easy loading from any side. Ideal for stacked pallets, oversized loads, and situations where quick loading and unloading is essential. Each truck is equipped with straps, edge protectors, and tarps for weather protection when needed.
Enclosed Trailers
Fully enclosed 53-foot trailers for weather-protected transportation. Essential for clean pallets, heat-treated ISPM 15 units, food-grade pallets, and any load that needs protection from rain, dust, and road debris. Climate considerations are not a concern when your pallets travel in our enclosed fleet. Dock-height rear access for seamless loading.
Specialized Pallet Haulers
Purpose-built vehicles designed specifically for pallet transportation. These specialized haulers feature adjustable rack systems that allow us to transport pallets vertically with minimal footprint, maximizing per-trip capacity. Ideal for tight loading docks, urban deliveries, and situations where a full-size trailer is impractical.

Four Ways to Get Your Pallets
Same-Day Delivery
For urgent needs, our same-day service gets pallets to your dock within hours. Orders placed before 10 AM are eligible for same-day delivery within our core service area (WA, OR, Northern CA). A premium may apply for same-day rush orders.
Next-Day Delivery
Our most popular delivery option. Place your order today and have pallets on your dock by tomorrow. Available across our full 10-state service area with no rush premium. Confirmed delivery windows provided at time of scheduling.
Scheduled Delivery
Plan your pallet deliveries in advance with confirmed date and time windows. Ideal for production planning and warehouse operations that need pallets on a specific day. Schedule up to 30 days in advance with guaranteed delivery windows.
Recurring Routes
Set up automatic recurring deliveries on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cadence. Your pallets arrive like clockwork on the same day and time every cycle. Recurring customers receive priority scheduling, reserved truck capacity, and the best per-load rates.
Route Optimization and Real-Time Tracking
Every route in our network is planned using advanced logistics software that calculates the most fuel-efficient path while meeting delivery windows. This optimization reduces fuel consumption by 20%, lowers emissions, and ensures on-time performance.
All vehicles are equipped with GPS tracking, giving you real-time visibility into your shipment location. Automated notifications keep you informed at every stage: dispatch, in-transit milestones, and delivery confirmation with digital proof of delivery.
Loading & Unloading Services
Our drivers do more than just transport. They are trained and equipped to handle loading and unloading at your facility, ensuring efficient turnaround times.
- Onboard pallet jacks for ground-level operations
- Forklift coordination with your warehouse team
- Dock-height loading from enclosed trailers
- Careful handling to prevent pallet damage
- Count verification at pickup and delivery
- Average dock time under 45 minutes
Cross-Docking Capabilities
Need pallets consolidated, sorted, or redistributed? Our cross-docking facilities allow us to receive pallet shipments, sort them by destination or specification, and reload them for final delivery. This reduces handling costs and speeds up multi-stop distribution.
- Consolidation of multiple pickup sources
- Sorting by grade, size, or destination
- Same-day cross-dock turnaround
- Staging for multi-stop delivery routes
Backhaul Programs: Reduce Empty Miles, Save Money
Our backhaul program is one of the smartest ways to reduce your pallet transportation costs. The concept is simple: instead of our trucks returning empty after a delivery, we fill them with pickups from businesses along the return route.
If your facility is located along one of our regular delivery routes, you can participate in our backhaul program and receive significantly discounted pickup rates, sometimes up to 40% less than standard transportation pricing.
Dedicated Routes for Regular Customers
High-volume customers and recurring service partners receive dedicated route assignments. Your pickups and deliveries are built into our permanent routing schedule, ensuring consistent service times, familiar drivers, and the most efficient logistics possible.
Consistent Drivers
The same driver services your account, knows your facility, and builds a working relationship with your team.
Fixed Schedule
Your service runs on the same day and time every cycle, allowing you to plan operations around it.
Priority During Peak
Dedicated route customers receive guaranteed service even during peak demand periods when capacity is tight.
Route Optimization
Your location is permanently optimized into our route network for maximum fuel efficiency and fastest service.
Safety Record & Driver Qualifications
Safety is non-negotiable. Every driver in our fleet holds a valid CDL, passes regular drug and alcohol testing, and completes a minimum of 80 hours of annual training. Our vehicles undergo daily pre-trip inspections and regular maintenance schedules that exceed DOT requirements.
Pricing Structure
Transparent pricing with three models to fit your shipping pattern. No hidden fees, fuel surcharges are clearly disclosed, and we provide written quotes before every shipment.
Per Pallet
Small orders, one-time deliveriesSimple per-pallet pricing for small to medium loads. The rate varies based on distance, pallet count, and delivery type. Best for one-time orders or occasional deliveries under 200 pallets.
Per Load
Full truckloads, 200+ palletsFlat-rate pricing per truckload regardless of pallet count (up to capacity). This is the most cost-effective option for full or near-full loads. Rate depends on distance and truck type needed.
Contract Rates
Recurring shipments, high volumeCustom pricing agreements for ongoing transportation partnerships. Locked-in rates for the contract duration (typically 6 or 12 months) with volume commitments. The most economical option for regular shippers.

How Mountain West Distribution Saved $94,000 Annually on Pallet Logistics
Mountain West Distribution operated three facilities across Oregon and Washington, each using different pallet vendors and transportation providers. Coordination was fragmented, costs were high, and delivery reliability was inconsistent at 92%.
Pallets Eco consolidated all pallet transportation under a single contract with dedicated routes, backhaul optimization across all three facilities, and a unified scheduling system. By combining pickups and deliveries across locations and eliminating empty return trips, we reduced their total transportation spend by 35% while improving on-time performance to 99.8%.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum number of pallets you can transport in a single trip?
Our largest vehicles, 53-foot flatbed trucks, can carry up to 400 standard GMA 48x40 pallets when stacked efficiently. Enclosed trailers hold up to 350 pallets. For orders exceeding single-truck capacity, we coordinate multi-vehicle operations with synchronized scheduling to handle loads of any size.
Do you offer GPS tracking on shipments?
Yes. Every vehicle in our fleet is equipped with GPS tracking, and we provide real-time location updates for all active shipments. You will receive automated notifications when your load is dispatched, when it is in transit, and when it arrives at your location. Our dispatch team can provide live location updates upon request at any time during transit.
Can you handle loading and unloading at my facility?
Absolutely. Our drivers are trained and equipped with onboard pallet jacks for ground-level loading and unloading. For dock-height operations, we use standard dock-leveling equipment. If your facility has a forklift available, our drivers will coordinate with your team for the fastest possible turnaround. We can also arrange for our own forklift operators if needed.
What is your backhaul program and how does it save money?
Our backhaul program fills empty trucks on return trips from deliveries. Instead of a truck driving back to our facility empty (called deadheading), we pick up pallets from businesses along the return route. This reduces empty miles, fuel consumption, and emissions. Customers who participate in backhaul pickups receive discounted transportation rates because we are already passing through their area.
Do you integrate with logistics management systems?
Yes. We can integrate our transportation scheduling and tracking with most major TMS (Transportation Management System) platforms through API connections and EDI. We also provide data exports in standard formats (CSV, XML) for manual import into your logistics systems. Our team will work with your IT department to establish the connection that works best for your operations.
What insurance and liability coverage do you carry?
We maintain comprehensive commercial auto liability insurance of $2 million per incident, cargo insurance covering the full replacement value of transported goods, and workers compensation for all employees. Certificates of insurance are available upon request and can be provided with your company listed as an additional insured party for contract requirements.
