Straight answers about shipping containers

Every question we get on the phone, answered in plain language by the people who own the yard. No sales pitch, no national call center, no guessing.

We are a container yard in Woodlawn, Virginia. People call us all day with the same questions: how much does one weigh, will it fit down my driveway, do I need a permit in my county, can I put a door in it. These pages are those answers, written down.

Each one leads with the short answer, then explains what it depends on. Where the honest answer is it depends on your county or it depends on the individual container, we say that instead of guessing, because guessing is what online brokers do.

Not sure what a word means?

Cargo-worthy, CSC plate, gooseneck tunnel, tilt-bed. The container trade runs on vocabulary nobody explains. The glossary defines 112 of them in plain language.
