At Professional Freight Services, we understand that how freight is palletized determines how safe, efficient, and cost-effective it moves through your supply chain. From floor-loaded containers to mixed freight shipments, our experienced crews build stable, compliant pallets that protect your product and optimize every inch of trailer space.
We provide the labor and process discipline so your loads arrive secure, damage-free, and retail-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply pallets and wrap?

Yes. We handle pallet re-stacking, shrink-wrapping, and labeling to meet compliance standards.
