12 Years of Second Chances
Every business has an origin story. Ours starts with a beat-up truck, a full warehouse of 'useless' pallets, and the stubborn belief that there was a better way.
"People kept telling me there was no money in used pallets. I kept finding money in used pallets. Eventually I stopped listening."— Founder, San Diego Pallet Co.
One Truck. One Vision.
Founded with a single flatbed and a belief that used pallets deserved a second life. Our first customer was a distribution center in Sorrento Valley.
First Yard. Real Inventory.
We opened our first pallet yard in San Diego with 3,000 sq ft of covered storage — and could finally keep Grade A pallets dry.
Adding Repair Services.
Customers kept asking if we could fix their broken pallets. We added a full repair station and never looked back.
Recycling Program Launched.
Formalized our zero-landfill commitment with a documented closed-loop recycling program. First ESG report issued for a Fortune 500 client.
Expanded Fleet.
Added two more trucks and extended our service area to include all of Southern California and parts of Arizona.
50,000 Pallets Recycled.
Crossed the milestone. We celebrated by planting 50 trees through a local reforestation nonprofit.
Still Grinding, Still Green.
2,400+ pallets in inventory. Same commitment to quality, fair pricing, and zero-waste operations.
