Beware the “Ghost Pallet”: How Automated Presorting Cuts Direct Mail Freight Waste
A “ghost pallet” happens when poor presort logic leaves you shipping half-empty letter trays, loose cartons, and skids filled mostly with plastic wrap and thin air. You still pay for the full trailer spot, and Canada Post plant intake stalls when non-compliant containers get flagged.
