There are currently 360 shipping ports in the USA and 550 port facilities serving Canada. Massive trade routes bring in millions of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) each year, and the major U.S./Canadian shipping ports have been expanding rapidly in the past century.
If you ship large quantities of goods, or ship large or heavy goods that need to be protected during transfer and safely delivered then chances are you will use pallets at some point in the supply chain to do this. Using pallets makes shipping more secure and, more importantly, is the most cost effective way at maximizing space in truck trailers.
