The public road is only the beginning
Private lanes can include tight gates, weak shoulders and limited turnaround.
Document long driveways, private crossings and seasonal access
Rural Shipping Container Delivery Planning
Prepare a farm, acreage or rural property for sea-can delivery by reviewing the entire private route and final working area.
Crossings need attention
Culverts, cattle guards and private bridges may have unknown capacity.
Season affects the same route
Mud, snow, dust controls and road restrictions can change access.
Survey from the driver's perspective
Record entrance width, ditch geometry, branches, wires, grades, surface and turnarounds. Identify who owns and maintains each part of the route.
Resolve unknown structures
Do not guess the capacity of bridges, culverts or buried services. Obtain records or qualified assessment and tell the carrier about every limitation before scheduling.
Buyer checklist
- Photograph the road entrance both ways
- Measure gates, turns and overhead clearance
- Identify bridges, culverts and cattle guards
- Describe seasonal road conditions
- Confirm turnaround and placement access
