1. A pallet, comprising: a plurality of interlocking members disposed around a periphery to form a frame, the frame comprising side walls, a top surface, and a bottom surface;a plurality of longitudinal members arranged along the top and bottom surfaces of the frame;a first internal longitudinal member disposed within the frame and extending across the side walls of the frame;a second internal longitudinal member disposed within the frame and parallel to the first internal longitudinal member;an enclosed compartment disposed within the frame, the compartment formed from at least one interlocking member of the plurality of interlocking members, at least one longitudinal member of the plurality of longitudinal members, the first internal longitudinal member, and the second internal longitudinal member; anda storage container disposed within the compartment. 2. The pallet of claim 1, further comprising a panel disposed on the plurality of longitudinal members arranged along the top surface of the frame. 3. The pallet of claim 2, wherein the panel comprises plywood. 4. The pallet of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of openings formed within the frame, the plurality of openings configured to receive ends of a fork lift. 5. The pallet of claim 1, wherein each interlocking member of the plurality of the interlocking members comprises a first dimensional lumber having a nominal cross-section of 1 inch×4 inch and a second dimensional lumber having a nominal cross-section of 4 inch×4 inch. 6. The pallet of claim 1, wherein each longitudinal member of the plurality of the longitudinal members comprises dimensional lumber having a nominal cross-section of 1 inch×4 inch. 7. The pallet of claim 1, wherein the first and second internal longitudinal members each comprise dimensional lumber having a nominal cross-section of 1 inch by 4 inch. 8.
