Show the load’s volume and stacking limits

Measure the pallet after cases have been stacked and secured. Include the pallet’s footprint, loaded height and gross weight. State whether the top can support another load or whether the packaging must remain uncompressed.

Two pallets with the same weight can occupy very different floor and cubic space. Avoid increasing stack height beyond the packaging’s intended limits simply to reduce the number of pallets shown on a quote request.

Allocate stock before the delivery run

If the order serves several Red Deer facilities, identify the pallet or case allocation for each receiving address. A distribution depot and three separate customer buildings are different delivery arrangements.

Keep the supplier’s order references visible on the appropriate handling units. The driver should not need to break down a mixed pallet to decide which cases belong to which facility unless a specific additional service has been agreed.

Keep dry paper goods distinct from other supplies

This shipment description concerns ordinary dry paper products. If chemicals, aerosols, liquids or other special goods are included in the same order, disclose them before acceptance. A facilities-supply purchase order can contain items with very different transport requirements.

Protect the packaging from avoidable exposure and prepare stable pallets for handling. Tell WTM about any projecting cases or load that cannot be secured as a normal palletised consignment.

Match unloading to the building

A facility may receive paper products through a loading dock, service entrance or level ground-level area. Confirm the available equipment, receiving contact and appointment. Tailgate unloading and inside movement should be described separately.

For recurring replenishment, share the normal quantity and delivery frequency. WTM can assess a repeat-shipment arrangement, while the actual loads and receiving instructions should still be updated when demand changes. The Customer Portal holds the quote decisions and issued documents for reference.

Can a light pallet still take significant freight capacity?

Yes. Its footprint, loaded height and stacking restrictions affect the space required. Provide both dimensions and weight.

Will the driver distribute cases inside the building?

Not automatically. Request any pallet breakdown, inside delivery or additional handling before the quote is accepted.

Send WTM the real pallet size and each facility’s receiving arrangement for paper-product LTL delivery.
