Why US Freight Uses a 48x40 Pallet
Why does the US use a 48x40 GMA pallet while Europe standardized on the EPAL Euro pallet? This episode dives into the hidden world of American logistics — from stringer vs. block pallet construction to the 53-foot dry van that defines US trucking. We break down the pooling economy of CHEP and PECO, the NMFC freight class system, and the 80,000-pound federal weight limit. Plus, what actually breaks when a European supplier ships to a US warehouse and the numbers don't divide cleanly.
