1. Can we get into your driveway in a crew cab pick-up truck with a 40’ trailer? Is your driveway narrow with deep ditches on either side? Is there a mailbox on either side? Is your driveway off a narrow road with deep ditches on either side? Can we drive on the roadside to swing or back into the driveway?
2. Are all large trees trimmed so that there aren’t any large branches below 13.5’?
3. Is the ground fairly flat and compacted in the area we will need to drive on to get to the delivery site? Why? Because loaded trailers like to slip sideways on slopes with loose dirt/rocks and wet grass.
4. Most container deliverers ask for a straight 130’ area to be cleared; 40’ for the container to slide off where it is going and approximately 90’ for the truck and trailer to slide the container off. We understand that a straight 130’ is not always possible. Slight angles are doable but hard angles are not.
5. Are all power lines in the path for delivery more than 13.5’ high and higher in the delivery area to allow for the lift of the trailer?
6. Is there anything in the ground that shouldn’t be run over such as sewer, laterals, etc.
7. How soft is the ground due to rain/weather or excavation? Is it drivable or will the truck and trailer sink?
8. Is your delivery area 40-42’ long and at least 10’ wide? Is it clear of debris and stumps with trees cut to the ground so the trailer doesn’t become hung up and so the trailer tires do not pop?
There is a $400.00 delivery deposit. This deposit is refundable up to the delivery date when you confirm delivery. We must rely on our customers to use their best judgment when inspecting their delivery location. Every effort will be made to deliver your container when we arrive, but if it is not possible to safely deliver the delivery deposit will be forfeited.
You can set containers directly on the ground, but we don’t recommend this. We recommend 6’ x 6’ treated lumber blocks at the four corners to keep it off the ground, so that moisture doesn’t condensate on the bottom side of the wood floor. This will help prevent rot and mildew.
I have read and understand this document in full, including all necessary conditions for the delivery of a container.
