Flatbed-Only Requirement
When a customer requests "Flatbed-Only" for delivery of
baled mix, peat moss or bagged mix, a $200 charge will
be added to the order. Flatbed-only requirements cannot
be guaranteed and can only be fulfilled when equipment is
available. Should you require a flatbed-only delivery, it is
best to place your order in advance as much as possible to
allow for flexibility on delivery times. There is no fee for flatbed
delivery of Canadian soils to the New England territory.
"Chimney Stack" Pallets
Based on 9 to 12 pallets, depending on product weight.
Balance item required.
The standard loading practice is to "chimney stack" pallets
when necessary to optimize space, as well as assist in securing
the load during transport. If you require pallets to be loaded
in any other manner, this needs to be advised when placing
order.
Balance Item
Delivery Notice
Required on either a half or full load to maximize the
number of pallets. This would be the item that you can
either take more of or less of, as weight allows. While we
will always maximize the number of pallets we can legally
load on a truck, we cannot guarantee a specific quantity
due to product and/or truck weight. Please note Custom
Mixes cannot be used as a balance item.
Delivery notice will be made the day prior to delivery.
Should additional time be required, this needs to be advised at the time you place your order. While drivers do their
best to meet the scheduled appointment, there are times
when either weather, mechanical problems or delays at the
border, etc. may affect this time. Drivers are asked to keep
in contact when, or if, lengthy delays occur.
Normal Quantities per Truck are as Follows:
All Loads Booked As No Touch to the Driver
Lightweight mixes..........................................22 to 24 pallets
Please be sure to have the proper equipment and/or personnel
available to unload once your delivery appointment has
been set. The normal time allowed by most trucking companies
is two hours. Trucks do not carry pallet jacks.
Middleweight mixes......................................20 to 22 pallets
Heavyweight mixes.......................................18 to 20 pallets
Baled mixes....................................................18 to 22 pallets
Retail soils.......................................................18 to 22 pallets
Peat Moss.......................................................22 to 24 pallets
Specific Delivery Contacts
Place Orders in Advance
Should you have specific delivery contacts (names, numbers,
e-mail addresses, etc.), please be sure to share these with
us at time of order placement. Directions to facilities are
also helpful. We keep this information on file.
During the busy seasons, product demand increases,
the availability of trucks decreases, and the increase in
production demand poses a challenge for the industry.
Flexibility on delivery dates is very helpful (i.e. "deliver
week of" or "deliver between the 1st and 15th of month"
is much easier than a specific date).
Transportation Surcharge
Please inquire the current Transportation Surcharge at time
of order. This amount can change based upon the current
situation. (Currently, there is no surcharge in place).
Custom Mixes (Custom Code) Orders
There is a minimum production requirement on all Custom
Mixes (Custom Codes) of: 3 pallets from Apopka, Fla.; 6 pallets
from Marshall, Texas & Anderson, S.C.; and 12 pallets from
Inkerman, New Brunswick & Vassar, Manitoba Canada.
Placing Your Order
All orders should be sent to orders@fafard.com. Please do
not send to an individual's e-mail address, as it could result
in a processing delay. If e-mail is not available, orders may
be faxed to (413) 789-3425.
