Our Services

Delivery & Pickup Services

Whether you are buying, selling, or recycling gaylord boxes, we handle the transportation so you do not have to. Our logistics team coordinates every shipment from dispatch to delivery, ensuring your boxes arrive on time and in perfect condition.

Box Delivery

We deliver purchased gaylord boxes directly to your facility. Orders are palletized, banded, and shrink-wrapped for protection during transit. Whether you need a single pallet or an entire truckload, we coordinate delivery around your receiving schedule to minimize disruption to your operations.

Box Pickup

Selling boxes or setting up recycling service? Our trucks come directly to your location to pick up used gaylord boxes. We handle all loading, and our drivers are experienced with dock, ground-level, and forklift-assisted loading procedures. Pickup is free for qualifying quantities.

Interplant Transfers

For businesses with multiple locations, we manage the movement of boxes between your facilities. This is ideal for companies that generate used boxes at one location but need them at another. We handle the logistics so your team can focus on production.

Dedicated Routes

High-volume customers can set up dedicated routes with assigned trucks and drivers. Your driver becomes familiar with your dock procedures, preferred loading methods, and schedule requirements. Dedicated routes ensure maximum consistency and minimal disruption.

Our Fleet

Fleet Information

Our in-house fleet is purpose-built for transporting gaylord boxes efficiently and safely. Every vehicle is maintained to the highest DOT standards, and our drivers are trained specifically in bulk container handling and securement.

53-Foot Dry Van Trailers

24 pallets / ~550 boxes

Our standard long-haul trailers carry up to 24 pallets of gaylord boxes per load. Enclosed trailers protect boxes from weather and road debris during transit. Used for full truckload shipments across all regions.

48-Foot Flatbed Trailers

22 pallets / ~500 boxes

Flatbed trailers are used for oversized or non-standard box shipments that do not fit efficiently in enclosed trailers. Loads are tarped and secured for weather protection. Available for both delivery and pickup operations.

26-Foot Box Trucks

12 pallets / ~275 boxes

Our medium-duty box trucks handle local and regional deliveries where a full semi-trailer is not necessary or practical. These trucks can access tighter loading areas, smaller docks, and locations with height restrictions that exclude full-size trailers.

Sprinter Vans

2 pallets / ~50 boxes

For small rush orders and sample deliveries, our sprinter vans provide fast, efficient service. Ideal for delivering small quantities of boxes to businesses that need them urgently or for initial sample shipments before committing to a larger order.

Scheduling

Flexible Scheduling Options

From same-day rush service to fully automated recurring routes, we offer scheduling options that fit every need and timeline. Tell us when you need your boxes and we will make it happen.

Same-Day Service

Mon-Fri, request by 10 AM

For urgent needs, same-day pickup and delivery is available within a 100-mile radius of our five facility locations. Submit your request before 10:00 AM local time and our dispatch team will coordinate a truck for the same business day. Rush surcharges apply.

Next-Day Service

Mon-Sat, request by 3 PM

Next-business-day pickup or delivery is available for most locations within 250 miles of our facilities. This is our most popular expedited option, offering fast turnaround without the premium of same-day service.

Scheduled Service

Mon-Sat, book in advance

Plan your pickup or delivery for a specific date and time window. Scheduled service is available up to 30 days in advance and is the most cost-effective option for non-urgent shipments. Two-hour arrival windows ensure you know when to expect us.

Recurring Service

Custom cadence, fully automated

Set up automatic recurring pickups or deliveries on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cadence. Your schedule is locked in, your driver is assigned, and everything runs on autopilot. The most hands-off option for regular box needs.

Visibility

Real-Time Tracking

Know exactly where your shipment is at every moment. Our tracking system provides complete visibility from the moment your boxes leave our facility to the moment they arrive at yours. No more wondering when your delivery will show up.

Live GPS Tracking

Updated every 60 seconds

Every truck in our fleet is equipped with GPS tracking that updates in real time. Access your shipment's location, estimated arrival time, and route progress through our online portal or mobile-friendly tracking page.
