    It's only an hour to your terminal? Here, I either pay more for the local terminal or go on a 3 hour drive to Billings

    Seriously, it does save you money in the long run. If you're going to do a lot of this stuff, I recommend picking up a cheap little utility trailer for the purpose. I have one that can actually haul 4 pallets, but I've never loaded her that full. But, it's so handy to build your pallet as you go, but the trailer gives you the ability to move it out of the way when you're doing other stuff. I don't know where you live, and I'm too lazy to check the outside of your box , but I'd look for a farm auction if you're going to do this a lot. They'll often have little trailers that bring next to nothing

    Well its an hours to THIS terminal, that this company uses, there could be ones closer! Im not sure. The destination of the pallet is only 6hrs away so I could just drive there! I could fit 2 pallets in my truck bed with the gate down, which, so far, is 2 times more than I would need so far! but if it picks up I def will get a trailer. The corona is really putting a damper on my materials acquiring though ... but no big deal, I still have my day job which is a lot more than a ton of people can say right now! So im lucky
