Hi, I am David Hall
I served nearly 14 years as a United States Marine before moving into the container industry. The Corps taught me that details matter, that commitments are kept, and that you do not leave someone hanging when they are counting on you.
Delivery Geography in Minnesota
For delivery anywhere in Minnesota, the truck needs at least 10 feet of width and 15 feet of overhead clearance to drive in, plus at least 22 feet of overhead clearance along the entire unloading path.
If your delivery route includes a signed minimum-maintenance road, mention it in your quote request: Minnesota Statutes 160.095, subd. 1, requires those signs to warn that the public travels on the road at its own risk.
What to Plan Around in Minnesota
Minnesota ground freezes in winter and softens as it thaws in spring, and frost can heave a container that sits on uneven blocking. A yard that is firm in winter can be too soft for a loaded truck during the thaw.
- ✓ Level, firm ground under all four corners
- ✓ Drainage that carries water away from the container
- ✓ Unpaved access to farm, ranch and acreage sites
- ✓ HOA covenants, deed restrictions and local permit questions
- ✓ Access at job sites, plants and other working sites
- ✓ Driveway width and overhead clearance on the truck's route
