POD & Container Loading and Unloading

Container loading in Central Florida, step by step

You book the container with the container company and they drop it at your home. We supply the crew that loads it, or unloads it when it arrives. Most of our container jobs are in driveways around Orlando, Sanford, Kissimmee, Winter Springs, Ocoee and Lakeland.

Before you book, check with your HOA or apartment office about where a container may sit and for how long. Some Central Florida communities limit containers to the driveway or ask for approval first. Leave room around the door of the container so the crew can work at the opening.

On load day we pad every piece of furniture first. The heaviest items, like dressers, the washer and dryer and bookcases, go against the front wall. Mattresses and tall pieces stand along the sides and get strapped to the container's tie-off points. Boxes fill each tier to the top, and cushions and soft bags fill the gaps. We plan the load to use every inch of the container.

Florida summer afternoons bring heat and sudden rain. A morning start, in our 7-10 AM window, keeps the crew out of the worst of it. On a wet day we keep boxes covered between the door and the container.

Before the crew arrives

• Container delivered and the doors unlocked before we arrive.
• Boxes packed and taped. On container work, any packing materials we supply are billed only for what you use.
• Beds and tables you want taken apart pointed out at the walkthrough.
• Your own lock ready to put on when the crew is done.

When a container arrives at a new home in our service area, we unload it, place each piece in the room you choose, and rebuild beds and tables. For container jobs, pay by cash, credit or debit card, or Zelle. Personal checks aren't accepted.
