Labor Costs? I see that pallet that is 40 inches by 48 inches inside the trailer and was told by a very old driver one time; that the pallet is the reason for the reduced labor requirements. The way I heard it: Boys and strong young men worked in the warehouses by the dozen moving everything mostly by hand until the mid 60's This was particularly true for provisions going onto shipping at the sea. When pallets were placed into service it was not long before one person can stack em and load em into a truck or a boxcar at the same facility. It wasnt long before they did not need as many strong people to do the same day's labor. That is the way I heard it, I may be totally off track but I see pallets as a very good labor saving tool. Just dont get me started all over again on unpacking "Big wood" and restacking onto "Small wood" cargo that is being delivered into the reciever. Or the day someone discovered that cardboard sheets are cheaper than actual pallets. Then there are pallets that needs to be shipped west at 8.00 each in value becuase the woods they use for them are not plentiful out there.
