Providing the correct details for your container is advisable to get an accurate transport estimate. That includes the size, dimensions, pick-up and drop-off locations, dates, whether you need loading assistance, and other important information. With that, we’re able to choose a suitable trailer for transport and ensure your container is dispatched on time. Depending on your containers’ weight, number, and size, we use trailers such as flatbeds, step-decks, lowboys, hotshots, and RGNs. If you don’t have loading or unloading equipment, let us know so we can come prepared. That is offered at an extra fee.
