Guide
Tilt-bed delivery
Every container arrives on a tilt-bed trailer: how it is set down at your address, what the truck needs, and what happens between your order and delivery day.

Unloading
Every container is placed using a tilt-bed trailer. The truck backs into position, raises the trailer, and carefully pulls forward while the container slides into place.
The driver cannot lift the container over fences, buildings, vehicles, trees, or other obstacles.
Placement
Site requirements
- Firm, reasonably level ground
- A clear route from the road to the placement area
- Enough straight-line space for the truck and trailer
- Adequate width for turns, gates, and mirrors
- No low branches, wires, eaves, or other overhead hazards
- No concealed soft ground, septic fields, or underground structures

Somebody here reads every answer before a driver is booked.
Our review is not a guarantee that the site will work on the day. The driver makes the final call at your address.
Doors facing the truck puts the container doors toward the truck's approach. Doors facing away puts them away from it. Choose the one that matches how you will use the container, because it cannot be turned around once it is set down.
Standard delivery is 7 to 10 business days from the day your order is confirmed. That is an estimate, not a booked date, and we will text you the window on the day.
