Skid is a colloquial term for a pallet - they are the same thing.
Many companies use a skid loader with a pallet fork to move the pallets because the skid loader works well in tight quarters. And since the machine using the pallets is a "skid loader", people started saying that the things being moved by the skid loader were "skids".
And pallets can be made from things other than wood these days. Plastic pallets have become very common as well - they don't have to be treated for bugs to be used with international shipments.

While this is a very old question, for those looking now a Pallet and a Skid are NOT the same! Skid's don't have bottom supports. They only have their crossmembers or feet. People who call pallet's skids are simply misinformed.

A pallet has slats across the top and bottom. A skid has no slats below the stringers. Most people use the terms interchangeably and don't know the difference!

A skid differs from a pallet in that it is generally higher and does not have additional cross members and stringers as support beneath the runners. Skids are used to support the load and assist with storage, handling and transportation.

The correct and only term is pallet. Skids are what you find in the bottom of your shorts when you can't hold your She Out in all day. Ask UPS what can Brown do for you? Please stay out of my shorts.
