Offices and docks
A good deal of the county is office space. Southfield has 27 million square feet of office and more than 100 Fortune 500 companies' offices; Auburn Hills hosts 80,000 people on a workday. Pallets follow the other half: the light industrial parks of Madison Heights, the production businesses of Wixom, the GM Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township and Novi's cold storage and logistics buildings.

Much of it is, but the industrial parks and cold-storage buildings carry the pallets.
Where do supplier pallets pile up?
Around Auburn Hills, Troy and Novi, where several firms share a few streets.
North of the supplier belt
The northern townships, such as Orion, are less dense, and pallets there are collected on a longer route. A request from there should offer flexibility on days.
