How we supply it

An Atlanta broker, a yard near your dock.

Chesapeake Pallets is a pallet broker based in Atlanta. We don't run a yard in Fort Myers. For each load we buy from an independent yard close to your dock that has your grade in stock, and the delivered price includes the freight. One account manager handles the quote, the paperwork and the invoice.

Fort Myers at a glance

What Fort Myers makes and moves.

Construction, health care, and hospitality and tourism are among Lee County's targeted industries, and Fort Myers draws visitors to its riverfront and winter estates. Hurricane Ian brought catastrophic damage to the city in September 2022, and the rebuild that followed put lumber, roofing and block on local roads. Inland, Immokalee in Collier County is one of the nation's major tomato-growing centers, and Florida's tomato shipping rules run each year from October 10 to June 15. East on SR 80, Clewiston, known as America's Sweetest Town, grew up around a sugar mill and citrus processing.

Pallet demand here follows the calendar. Tomato and vegetable packers gear up in the fall and run into late spring. Tourist and seasonal-resident traffic shapes grocery and retail volumes. Building-supply yards move heavy outdoor loads year-round, and hurricane season can spike demand for water and repair materials. Fort Myers has no container terminal, so exporters truck their boxes to Tampa Bay or the east coast and need heat-treated pallets for anything sailing abroad.

How freight moves

Ports, rail and interstates.

I-75 runs the length of Lee County, linking Fort Myers north to Tampa and east across Alligator Alley to the Fort Lauderdale and Miami area. US 41 parallels it nearer the coast, SR 82 heads southeast to Lehigh Acres and Immokalee, and SR 80 runs east to LaBelle and Clewiston. A short-line railroad comes south from a Class I interchange at Arcadia; its Caloosahatchee River trestles were rebuilt in 2024 after Ian. The airport, with its own I-75 exit, sits inside Foreign-Trade Zone 213. Container ports within trucking range include Port Manatee and Port Tampa Bay.

Which pallet to order

The right grade for Fort Myers.

Tomato and vegetable packers should order Grade A or AAA 48x40s, or new, that hold square in cool rooms through the fall-to-spring season. Sugar and citrus plants need sturdier builds for dense loads. Building-supply yards do fine with heavy Grade B stringers or block pallets that tolerate rain and sun. Retail and grocery warehouses run Grade A recycled outbound. Containers trucked to Tampa Bay or east-coast ports for export need HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Your account manager confirms the spec in writing.

Straight answers

Buying pallets in Fort Myers.

Can you get pallets to Immokalee packinghouses before the season starts?+
Yes. We deliver truckloads to packers in Immokalee and the surrounding farm country. Florida's tomato shipping rules take effect October 10, so give your account manager your expected volume early, and we line up an independent yard and confirm grade and size.
Do you deliver to warehouses near Southwest Florida International Airport?+
Yes. Warehouses and plants near RSW, along Alico Road and in Gateway are on our delivery map. Share your dock address and appointment rules, and your account manager puts the grade, quantity and delivery details on the quote before the order is placed.
What pallets hold up for block, roofing and storm-repair materials?+
Heavy Grade B stringers work for many building-supply loads, and block pallets or extra-board builds suit concrete block and stone. Pallets stored outside in Southwest Florida sun and rain wear faster, so ask your account manager which grade fits your turnover.
Do Southwest Florida exports need heat-treated pallets?+
If the pallets leave the country, yes. Fort Myers has no container terminal, so export boxes ride by truck to Port Manatee, Port Tampa Bay or an east-coast port, and most destinations require ISPM 15. We quote HT pallets from ALSC-accredited facilities.
Can you deliver to plants in Clewiston and LaBelle?+
Yes. Sugar, citrus and farm operations along SR 80 in Hendry County are on our delivery map. Dense loads may need sturdier builds, so send the product weight and racking setup, and your account manager confirms the pallet spec.
What do pallets cost delivered to Fort Myers, FL?+
Today's full-truckload ranges run from $4.75 a pallet for Grade B to $10.50 for AAA, freight included. Heat-treated adds $1.00–$1.50. Your ZIP, grade and count set the firm price on the call.
When will a load reach Fort Myers, FL?+
Your dock date in writing on every quote. Standard 48x40s often land in 0–2 business days. New and custom builds take longer. Your account manager puts the exact date on the quote, before you send a PO. Loads ship as full trucks: a 53' trailer holds 616 recycled 48x40s.
