Question Of Pallets

I dont know...I did know a guy once that collected junk pallets for free in the east and west bottoms of KC. Took em home to his farm...mixed them together,replace some boards ,then resell them for 3 dollars a piece.Seemed to make a living at it.JMO

 

How many loads in a day, how many hrs will it take? What's your average daily gross? If you're spending a couple of nights on the road and you have wife and kids maybe take less maybe not for some family time. Negotiate, know your numbers.

 

Pallets are not that expensive.

If a forklift unloads you in a few minutes make a flat rate sufficient to twice minimum wage per hour plus 50 dollars securement all together in a nice number.

If you have to throw pallets, make it by the hour and then sprout a slightly larger number. Tell them that a forklift at the customer will reduce it somewhat.

Im pretty sure that pallets are repeatable. They make more, you take another load down. If you are reliable, you will have plenty. Any problems you aint.

 

That’s ok, he may or may not the act of stopping and talking will get you where you want to go. Keep talking and make yourself available. Whenever you do your work for be it a broker or direct customer do the best job possible. And repeat it each time.
