Buying a shipping container is only part of the process. Getting it delivered safely and set up correctly is just as important.
At EuclidTransit, we make nationwide container delivery simple and reliable. Whether you’re ordering a new or used container, this guide will help you understand what happens next from scheduling to setup.
1. How Container Delivery Works
Once you place your order, our logistics team confirms your location and the best delivery schedule.
We deliver to all 50 U.S. states using professional drivers and heavy-duty tilt-bed or flatbed trucks. Most deliveries arrive within 7 to 14 business days after payment.
Our flat-rate delivery fee of $540 applies to every state — no surprise costs or complicated freight quotes.
You’ll receive updates along the way so you know exactly when to expect your delivery.
2. Preparing Your Site for Delivery
Before your container arrives, make sure the delivery area is ready.
Good preparation helps the driver unload safely and prevents delays or extra fees.
Here’s what to check:
a. Clear the Area
Remove any vehicles, debris, or obstacles from the drop zone. The driver will need open space to maneuver the truck and tilt the container into place.
b. Ground Condition
The ground should be firm, flat, and dry. Avoid mud, soft soil, or steep slopes. Containers sit best on level ground or solid pads like gravel, asphalt, or concrete.
c. Space for the Truck
A 20-foot container requires at least 60 feet of clearance.
A 40-foot container needs about 100 feet for the truck to enter, back up, and unload safely.
d. Access Routes
Check your driveways and gates for height and width clearance. Make sure power lines, trees, or fences won’t block the delivery path.
3. What Happens on Delivery Day
On the scheduled date, our driver will call ahead to confirm arrival time.
When they arrive:
-
The driver positions the truck in your designated spot.
-
The container is lowered slowly using a tilt-bed system.
-
Once placed, the driver checks that the container sits level and doors operate properly.
You or your representative should be present to approve final placement.
Once unloaded, the container is immediately ready to use — no setup required.
4. Tips for a Smooth Delivery
-
Have your contact phone on: The driver may call for directions or clarification.
-
Mark your drop area: Use cones, stakes, or tape so placement is clear.
-
Plan for weather: If heavy rain or snow is expected, reschedule in advance.
-
Double-check measurements: Make sure your chosen location fits your container size.
A little prep ensures everything goes smoothly.
5. Delivery Options and Access Challenges
Most deliveries go directly from truck to ground.
If your site has limited access or uneven terrain, let us know before delivery. We’ll find a suitable unloading method or equipment option.
Our goal is to make delivery work safely whether it’s a downtown business, rural property, or construction site.
