Anyone Else Following the Pallet Shortage?

Pallet supply is extremely low; many manufacturers will need to go on allocation and even slow production as a result. This has the potential to impact a wide array of industries.

Shipping and ground logistics especially.

Hey! Have y’all heard about lumber, shipping container, truck driver, and other labor shortages??!!

The problem, Raushel and others said, is linked to a surge in the economy as the COVID-19 pandemic dies down. Companies of all kinds slowed their operations last year as the pandemic forced restrictions on activity.
Now, as business begins to pick up, sawmills aren’t staffed. Some truckers are on the sidelines. Korean nail factories are running months behind in filling orders. And pallet makers often are bidding for scarce wood against homebuilders. Result: The price of wood, in some cases, has tripled. Bottom line, a new pallet that sold a year ago for $12 to $14 now costs $25 to $28.
“There just isn’t enough [wood] to go around,” said Tim Logan, owner of Viking Pallet in Maple Grove, Minn. “It’s just a constant headache.” Logan spends much of his time these days trying to find wood, trucks, nails and workers.
“You’re just running from crisis to crisis,” he said. At least Logan doesn’t have to worry about finding customers. Viking Pallet is turning away new accounts in order to be sure it can take care of its existing customers.

I just got 30 40 lb bags of salt delivered with a pallet. I’m going to burn it in my fire pit. Want it?

Truly an unpalletable situation.

Is there one? The casinos in Biloxi stack them next to their dumpsters that have a sign that reads “free pallets”. IP and Boomtown probably stack 10 to 20 a day.

And to think, we just cut 24 up, threw them in a scrap wood basket, and shipped them back to Fourchon

Part of the problem is trucker shortage to get those pallets back to producers. So, there isn’t enough pallets to buy new, or transit to get used.

It's just because we're Building Back Better.

shite I have a couple on the side of the house left over from yard bricks. Is it time to cash in?
Posted on 6/3/21 at 6:00 pm to LSUfan20005
We are seeing it. Probably one of the largest customers of the pallet industry

I'm dealing with it right now. CHEP is supplying about 35% less than what our contract states. They told us good luck finding any other suppliers.
