How Shipping Containers are Loaded, Inspected and Delivered

I guess everyone has questions about how the container looks, if they can see or pick their container out, etc. The video below was made by our owner, in order to explain how the delivery process takes place and maybe answer to a few of your questions.

Most of the time when the driver goes to the depot, he gets in ( sometimes he waits in line from 30 mins up to 3-4 hours to get loaded ). He follows strictly the designated loader or goes to the loading area where he can be loaded.

Once the first out of stack box is brought down, our driver inspects the container, gets inside, checks for holes, gaskets and if doors can be opened and closed.

Once he gives his OK, the shipping container is loaded onto his trailer, he straps it for safety to his trailer, so it doesn’t flip, slide or fall off from it, and then he calls our customer to inform him he is ready and leaving his way, also he gives him an ETA ( Estimated Time of Arrival ).

Last part it’s pretty obvious, he arrives at the destination, unloads the box and returns to his garage, leaving one more happy customer to enjoy his shipping container.

Just so you know the whole process described takes about 2 hours, but if we are to put it on a scale from very easy to very hard, this is one of the easy ones, not to much waiting at the yard, not to much traffic and good delivery area, enough space, no obstacles in the way. Sometimes just one delivery takes up to 7-8 hours, depending on waiting time at the yard, on the way and at the delivery site.
