Forwarding Packages and Pallets

Both packages and pallets can be forwarded through a northbound forwarding program. Pallets generally cost more for the cross dock fee, storage and freight (because of their increased weight). However, they are generally treated exactly the same as a package.

Packages are consolidated onto one or more pallets for their shipment north. Because they are built on site these pallets are more flexible in their size and ability to fit into a courier truck.

Palletized shipments can often be too large to fit into a standard courier truck and require a special forwarding arrangement.
