Pallets in fields

These stories are little reported but obviously there is a back story here. This guy had a lack of RIP (respect in pallets)?

Pallet wrangling is a lot like being around any livestock, be confident and wary at the same time... and always wear good leather gloves when handling them or they'll splinter ya when you least expect it. But a properly handled/loaded pallet used for a purpose that it was created to do is a joy to behold.

That Iraqi illegal migrant made a rookie mistake and got amongst a mob of under-restrained pallets in a moving environment. The pallets spooked, shifted and he paid the price for his lack of respect (RIP indeed, dragoneggs).

So as Wagtail says, there is pallet wrangling. Is there also pallet rustling? I have seen some pallets with brands.

Yes

THE PALLET BLACK MARKET
A not insignificant source of that pallet loss is theft. While numbers are not definitive, Jerry Welcome, president of the Reusable Packaging Association, estimates that tens of millions of dollars' worth of reusable packaging and containers are stolen every year.

CHEP estimates that each year, about 1 million pallets travel through the black market. This includes pallets that are being stolen along with the product loaded on them, pallets being stolen alone, and pallets that are being "misused" (such as being made into furniture or fencing), says Gormley.

Most of the pallet theft is perpetrated by an individual thief picking up unattended pallets behind a store, according to Welcome. But there have been cases of organized crime rings stealing pallets and containers.

I agree. Like many breeds of dogs ( and some other animals), they need a job. Pallets that are not engaged become destructive. Idle pallets are the devil's workshop. Or so I've heard.

Its serious ... who knew there was actual pallet terminology

Who knew there were so many different kinds?... "know thine enemy"

Examples of pallets, stringer pallets, skid pallets

You would have known this had you studied palletology.

Well I was looking to go to collage for diesel tech but I think I just changed my mind

I have a friend with a Ph.D. in Palletology. He is working in a research position looking for the cure to Palletosis.

I have a friend that actually has a state job inspecting pallet factories. They have to be built to certain specs and from certain wood, etc. He gets paid handsomely for little work.

I see amongst the pallet types there are:

Captive Pallets - They have wars? or is we who capture them from the wild?
Slave Pallets - weren't slaves outlawed?
Two way entry Pallets...I reallyi don't want to know the details.
Stevedore Pallets - Sounds like that tribe would be very useful as slaves or captured.

 

[Jim Shooz]

I saw the first entry in the terminology..'Annular nail' and thought ooeeew there are ****** deviants in the pallet world.. I don't want to know any more.

 

[robbyr]

Yeah but did y'all notice there was no mention of inverted v pallets? Methinks another site to throw us off of the real conspiracy.

Don't forget " Highly developed pallet" and "pallet-able" .

I believe that we covered the scientific discipline of Palletology back in 2014...

Sometimes in my barn at night I can hear rustling in the dark over where I have them stacked, and often when I come back after being at work for a few days, they aren't where they were when I left.

SWMBO always says that she didn't move them...

isn't that when your breath smells--- like pallets?

As a matter of informing/educating my fellow NA TBNers on the Australasian vernacular: duffing or 'to duff' cattle (pallets) and to change the branding thereof.

Note: this is not the same as being up the duff, which of course means 'pregnant'.

I think that used to be a hanging offence over here.
