• ​Shrink Wrap- Pallets should be properly wrapped with enough film to prevent sliding or movement within of merchandise
• Corner boards- If the shipment consists of slippery merchandise the use of corner boards will help prevent unwanted shifting
• Straps- are not necessary in most cases but if the boxes are heavy or different sizes in most cases it is the only way to secure the freight.
• Weight- pallet total weight is very important, if a pallet is too heavy it is very hard to move and manage its movement within the truck. Please keep this in mind when prepping your shipment if the pallet is over 1500 lbs please consider making another pallet
