Pallet count sheet: every place to count

A practical checklist of every area to count during a pooled pallet audit, with tips for mixed pallet types.

Areas to count

Racks and bulk storage (full pallets), by pallet type.
Empties on the dock and in stacks inside the building.
Staging lanes: picked loads waiting to ship.
Trailers in the yard, loaded and empty.
Damaged / repair pile and anything held for return.
Off-site: sister buildings, repair vendors, overflow storage, carriers.

Tips

Count each pallet type separately; one wrong-color pallet per stack adds up across a building.
Count on one day, at one cut-off time, and use the same cut-off for the exports you pull.
Write down who counted each area so recounts go to the right place.
