I haven't had to mess with pallets in decades but things must have changed because every pallet we had was a deposit pallet. As in cash paid on deposit. So we knew which pallets to accept in trade. Since we dealt with both dry and wet goods no pine or particle board crap would ever make it into our pallet stacks in the warehouse or on a truck. Only full oak with oak stringers.
Time will do that.
Chep pallets arent cheap, they are probably the strongest most durable pallets you can find. I know they are the heaviest and its not even close.
Yellow pine and particle board! Strong and durable? Not compared to oak. Cheap to make, YOU BET!
If I understand correctly the blue wooden chep pallets start at 25 dollars and go up. The low 5 dollar or under price many see is the pool or rental price. They are pool pallets. And yes they are heavy. And I have never seen any particle board in them. But they do make all kinds.
I'm going to be honest here... I need help with this joke. I have totally missed the punchline I think.
