Trailer Management

Rental & Leasing

Pallets Direct has trailers to rent or lease.  When peak season comes upon you, Pallets Direct can help with temporary trailer capacity to augment your fleet at any time.  With our trailer leasing program, we have road-worthy trailers that can be leased by the week or by the month depending on your needs.  Our trailers, clean, safe and come in vented and unvented options.  In addition, we can deliver trailers to you or you can retrieve the rental trailer using your own equipment.

Trailer renting and leasing may be ideal options for you when:

  • Peak season product demand is high in agriculture harvest times

  • Forklift-accessible storage, floor, or dock space is low at the warehouse

  • When existing trailers are in for repair

Pallets Direct can provide trailers in the Savannah, Georgia metroplex as well as in most of our multi-state service area in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina.

Drop Trailers

Some customers require a heavy volume of pallets over a prolonged period of time and Pallets Direct can help!  Drop trailers may be an excellent way to take pressure off your busy and fast-paced shipping and receiving departments by giving them more flexibility.

A typical drop trailer scenario:  

  • Pallet Direct drops a trailer full of pallets at your facility and bob-tails away

  • Your receiving department unloads the shipment on their timeframe but within 24 hours

  • Within 48 hours, Pallets Direct returns with a fresh load of pallets 

  • Pallets Direct drops the new trailer and re-hooks to the empty one 

  • By the time the next Pallets Direct truck arrives, the previous full trailer is always unloaded and so the cycle repeats itself.  

If done correctly, the “drop and hook” technique can greatly expedite the pallet delivery and unloading process.

Not all situations are right for drop trailers.
Some considerations include:

- Minimum 3 loads per week

- Program duration

- Location of the facility

- Security and access to the facility

- Hours of operation
