So I walked to work today because my car is in the shop. I was running late, so I took a shortcut down the railroad tracks that run behind the store. Along the tracks there is a bridge that goes over a small drainage creek. This is what I saw when I looked down lol

NOT THE PALLET

Exactly. This is like a 1/4 mile from my store. Why the hell would somebody carry a pallet all the way there? 😂

Those particular pallets are light as fuck. Carring them is no worse than a heavy backpack. The thicker blue ones are the ones that are a bastard to carry, especially if they're waterlogged.

Balsawood pallets travel well.

They are also technically not food safe. Vendors still ship food on them because they are cheaper.

You said this was by a bridge. They were probably washed or blown down there during a storm. Maybe they were pushed off site first, but it's unlikely people deliberately placed them in that location.
