How We Deliver and Pick Up Containers in Central Texas

Whether you’re a first-time renter or a seasoned contractor, one of the most common questions we get at Central Texas Mobile Storage is:

“How does delivery and pickup work?”

We’ve made the process simple and predictable, with clear communication and reliable timelines. Here’s exactly what to expect — from site prep to container pickup — so there are no surprises on delivery day.

Step-by-Step Delivery Process

  1. Place Your Order

Call, email, or request a quote online. We’ll confirm container size, delivery address, and your preferred date.

  1. Get a Clear Quote

We’ll send a quote that includes:

  • Rental or purchase price
  • Delivery/pickup fee ($200 for first 10 miles each way, $5/mile after)
  • Any applicable taxes or damage waiver
  1. Site Prep (See below)

We’ll give you tips to make sure the delivery goes smoothly.

  1. Delivery Day

We’ll give you an arrival window. Our driver will:

  • Back in with a roll-off or tilt-bed truck
  • Lower the container gently into place
  • Confirm everything looks good before leaving
  1. Pickup Is Just as Easy

When you’re done with your container, call or email us. We’ll schedule pickup within a few days (or sooner if urgent).

Site Preparation Tips

To ensure safe and smooth delivery, here’s what we recommend:

  • Clear a flat area – ideally with gravel, concrete, or packed dirt
  • Allow space – A 40’ container needs about 100 feet of straight clearance for the truck
  • Watch overhead – Avoid low-hanging wires or tree branches
  • Mark placement – Use cones, flags, or paint to show where you want the container set

Soft or muddy ground can cause delivery issues or damage. Let us know if conditions are questionable — we’re happy to talk through options.

Access & Clearance Requirements

For 20’ Containers:

  • Width: 10 feet
  • Height Clearance: 15 feet
  • Straight Clearance: 60–70 feet

For 40’ Containers:

  • Width: 10 feet
  • Height Clearance: 15 feet
  • Straight Clearance: 100 feet+

Let us know if your site is tight — we’ve helped many customers with tricky deliveries.
