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 Spokane. 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.

Spokane at a glance

What Spokane makes and moves.

Spokane grew as a rail and supply town between the mining districts of north Idaho and the farms to the south, and it still serves as the commercial center for eastern Washington, north Idaho and parts of British Columbia and Alberta. Wood and food processing, primary metals and fabrication, and electrical equipment lead local manufacturing, and economic developers court aerospace suppliers. South of the city, Palouse farms grow wheat, lentils and dry peas, and a large share of the region's wheat is sold to buyers in Asia.

Each of those flows wants a different pallet. Grain and pulse shippers that send bagged product overseas in containers need heat-treated wood. The aluminum rolling mill at Trentwood and fabricators around Spokane Valley ship coil, plate and parts that need block or custom bases. Grocery and retail warehouses run standard 48x40s, and plants in Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene, across the Idaho line, share the same I-90 freight lanes and draw on the same supply.

How freight moves

Ports, rail and interstates.

I-90 is the main line, running 280 miles west to Seattle and east through Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake to Coeur d'Alene and Missoula. US 395 heads south to the Tri-Cities and north to the Canadian border at Laurier, US 195 runs into the Palouse, and US 2 continues to Newport and Sandpoint. BNSF and Union Pacific cross here; BNSF's main Spokane yard sits at Yardley in Spokane Valley. Spokane International handles air cargo, and container exporters use the Northwest Seaport Alliance terminals in Seattle and Tacoma.

Which pallet to order

The right grade for Spokane.

Match the pallet to the product. Bagged lentils, peas and flour going overseas need heat-treated (HT) pallets marked under ISPM 15, and the stamp has to be on the wood before the container is loaded. Trentwood-area metal shops and fabricators should ask for block pallets or custom sizes rated for the weight. Retail-bound grocery loads usually ship on Grade A or AAA 48x40s, while West Plains warehouses can use Grade B for internal moves. Canada exempts U.S.-origin wood packaging when the paperwork says so; your account manager confirms the spec in writing.

Straight answers

Buying pallets in Spokane.

Do lentil and pea shippers on the Palouse need heat-treated pallets?+
If the bags are going overseas in a container, yes in most cases. Importing countries apply ISPM 15 to wood packaging, so order HT pallets stamped with the IPPC mark. Domestic food-plant and grocery loads can run on standard stock, and your account manager confirms which is which.
Can you deliver to the transload center and warehouses on the West Plains?+
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to docks around Spokane International, the Craig Road transload tracks and Airway Heights. Send the building address, any foreign-trade-zone gate procedures and your receiving hours, and your account manager confirms grade, count and delivery details.
What pallet works for aluminum coil and plate out of Spokane Valley?+
Heavy coil and plate usually ride on block pallets or custom skids sized to the load, sometimes with extra deck boards or runners. Share dimensions, weights and how the pieces are lifted, and your account manager quotes a build from an independent yard near your plant and puts it in writing.
Do loads crossing into British Columbia at Laurier need HT pallets?+
Not usually, if the pallet wood originated in the continental U.S. or Canada and the import documents state that. Freight that will continue overseas after crossing should start on HT pallets. Tell your account manager where the load ends up, and the requirement goes on the order.
What do pallets cost delivered to Spokane, WA?+
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 Spokane, WA?+
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.
