container hauling?

I'm thinking it's probably empty......

 

It's definitely empty. Doors are forward and those look like 6,000 lb axle.

Containers are typically low paying and a good way to suck down lots of fuel and wear out your truck.

 

I bought a bunch of containers in January for storage. I took a few days off to make sure they were placed on pads I paid to have put in. In one day two of them came in on proper trailers and placed right exactly where I wanted them, within inches - these guys were great. However the other three came in on hotshot trailers as pictured every day after that. Not one of the drivers could get the thing off the trailer, they wanted me to provide a means for them to remove it but that wasn't the deal I made with the seller and I wasn't about to offer renting a forklift to get them off.

Told these clowns that I am refusing delivery because they are to be placed precisely on the pads I put in for them and no where else. I said because these are not the right trailers, then I can't see them being placed in the right spot. The first guy was cool about it but the other two were pure idiots, they were not going to be paid and I told them not my problem - I thought I would have to call the cops. I was on the phone with the place I bought them from and told them for the $200 a container I am paying to be moved the JUST three miles, I expect more than a song and dance from the idiot drivers.

The next week the first two drivers came back with the containers, put them exactly where they needed to go and we were all happy.

 

We move empty containers occasionally, that is, when they have a good rate on them. We take them to mines, military bases, businesses, just places that have a way to unload them. And yeah most empty container moves are low paying, and they can put the hurt on your fuel mileage.
