Google your cities name or other nearby cities and "pallets"...a few places will come up probably. Call them...have a conversation...describe the truck and guy. Maybe ask if there is anywhere else around town you could call to give them a heads up. Pallets are a small world. Somebody will know him. Pallets are a tough game...you either do well or not as the average pallet hustler. They don't look well on pallet thieves.
I got into pallets about 3 years ago. Turns out, if you can be professional and reliable, pallets are way more money for the average street guy than scrap..assuming you have an outlet for them. That varies on location greatly. Protip: Driving around looking for them is NEVER profitable. MAYBE if you are in an town under 100k where no one looks and they just sort of stack up and you can be the odd man out and start a route, but where I live, it is COMPETITIVE. You will barely pay your gas, let alone wear and tear. If they are a sideline of other things, or a way to make some cash as a hobby, fine. Either wait for that big break or be prepared to pay and have an outlet for those you just bought. If they aren't 48x40 4 way, they aren't worth anything, with rare exception. I got a lucky contact and do well, but all the same, I know it could be over the next change of management. So far so good though.
