David -- Unfortunatly the drop off of the container did not go nearly as smoothly as the pick-up in Portland. No one that we could find had a tilt trailer strong enough to do the job (39,000 pounds). So .... the container was transported to our site on a regular chassis and then lifted off by a barely adequate crane. We, of coarse, had to pay for both rigs. Total cost for the move to our lot was about twice as much as the pick-up in Portland and the travel distance was about half as far. Oh well, it all worked, we still saved LOTS of $$$$$ plus we got all our stuff over here. I'd do it again even at that price. Incidently -- Anyone want to buy a ocean certified container?
