Will Jordan in container sales was very helpful and patient. This purchase was done from Michigan and delivery was in Louisiana. There were a good bit of logistical moving parts to contend with, but Will helped us through it.

How Container Delivery Works
Most containers are delivered by specialized trucks and placed directly on the ground. The delivery graphic shows how the truck approaches, tilts the container into position, and pulls forward—plus the clear space needed for a successful delivery. Actual clearance requirements depend on the truck and container size.
