What Salisbury makes and ships

Salisbury at a glance

Salisbury, known as the Crossroads of Delmarva, sits where US 13 and US 50 meet on the Wicomico River. Poultry, grain and seafood dominate its freight, with a commercial river port in town and a short-line railroad running the length of the peninsula.

Salisbury is headquarters for a multinational poultry and grain company, and the Eastern Shore around it is known for poultry farms. The short-line railroad that runs from Porter, Delaware, down to Pocomoke City and Hallwood, Virginia, carries grain unit trains to poultry companies near Seaford, in Frankford and in Princess Anne. Crisfield is a notable seafood source, a Salisbury seafood company and a soft-drink bottler rank among major employers, and the county's industries include shipbuilding and electronic components. Farms nearby grow tomatoes, green beans, corn and soybeans.

That economy is hard on pallets. Poultry plants and seafood packers work in cold, wet rooms and ship chilled and frozen product to distributors, so they need pallets that keep their shape through washdowns and freezers. Bottlers send dense cases to stores across the peninsula on standard 48x40s. The shipyard and electronics plants ship heavier or more delicate pieces that call for block bases, custom sizes or new lumber.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

US 13 runs north to Dover and Wilmington and south through Pocomoke City to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge–Tunnel and Norfolk. US 50 heads west over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge toward Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington, and east to Ocean City. Both skirt the city on a three-quarter bypass. The peninsula's short line connects with a Class I railroad at Clayton, Delaware. The regional airport near Salisbury has scheduled airline service. For ocean freight, shippers use the Port of Baltimore, the Port of Wilmington, or the Port of Virginia past the Bay Bridge–Tunnel.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Salisbury.

Poultry and seafood docks should order new or AAA 48x40s, since frozen and iced product punishes cracked boards; ask for consistent lumber so stacks stay square in freezers. Beverage bottlers do well with Grade A, and Grade B covers storage and moves inside a plant. The shipyard and electronics plants should look at block pallets or custom sizes. Poultry or seafood sold overseas through Baltimore or Norfolk needs HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15, which is a pest treatment, not protection against mold in cold rooms.

Buying pallets in Salisbury: questions

What pallet do Delmarva poultry plants usually order?
Most processors want new or AAA 48x40s with tight decks and no loose fasteners, because pallets go through freezers, washdowns and heavy forklift traffic. Some plants also set exact lumber and construction specs. Send yours, and your account manager confirms the spec in writing before the truck is booked.
Can you deliver to seafood packers in Crisfield and on the lower Shore?
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to packing houses and warehouses in Crisfield, Princess Anne and the rest of Somerset and Wicomico counties. Tell us about tight yards or seasonal hours when you order, and your account manager notes them on the written confirmation.
Do poultry or seafood exports through Baltimore or Norfolk need heat-treated pallets?
Yes, when the product leaves the country on wood pallets. Most importing countries require ISPM 15, so order HT pallets carrying the ISPM 15 stamp from accredited facilities and keep the mark visible. Loads staying in the U.S. can use untreated new or recycled pallets.
Can you deliver across the line into Sussex County, Delaware?
Yes. Salisbury's freight market spills into Laurel, Seaford, Delmar and Selbyville, and we deliver full truckloads on both sides of the state line. Send each dock address and its appointment rules, and your account manager confirms the pallet spec and delivery details for each site.
Where can I buy pallets in Salisbury, MD?
From us, by the full truckload: 616 recycled 48x40s per truck, or 520 block pallets. Call (470) 206-3352 or book a test load.
What do pallets cost delivered to Salisbury, MD?
Full-truckload prices run from $4.75 a pallet for Grade B to $10.50 for AAA, freight included. Heat-treated adds $1.00–$1.50 per pallet.
When will a load reach Salisbury, MD?
Your delivery date is on the quote, in writing, before you send a PO. Standard 48x40s often arrive in 0–2 business days. New and custom builds take longer.
