Container Unload Bid
Request a container unload bid.
Send us your container details, site access, and a few photos and we will price the unload after a short phone consultation. Container unloads start at $1,500 per visit plus travel; the final bid depends on scope — how the container is packed, crew size, site access, and time on site.
Container unload bid questions
- How much does a container unload cost?
- Container unloads start at $1,500 per visit plus travel miles to your site from our Riverview base. We unload on site only — we come to you. That is a starting price, not a final quote — the final bid is set after a phone consultation and a look at your photos and scope.
- Why do you need photos?
- Photos of the container, the freight, and the site tell us how the load is packed, whether a forklift can reach it, and how much crew and time the unload really needs. That is what turns a starting price into an accurate final bid.
- How fast do I get a bid?
- You get the starting price on screen immediately. We call you — usually the same business day — review the scope, and send the final bid for your written approval.
- Where do you unload containers?
- Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Riverview, Plant City, Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bradenton, Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, Naples, Ocala, Orlando, and the surrounding counties.
- Is the container on a truck or chassis, or grounded on the ground?
- Both work. A live unload off a truck or chassis follows the carrier's appointment window and can include driver wait time. A grounded or dropped container lets us schedule around your hours, which is usually cheaper.
- Why do you ask if the container is double stacked?
- Double-stacked and ceiling-high loads take more crew, more time, and sometimes lift assistance. Single-level loads move faster and price lower.
- What site conditions matter?
- Surface (gravel, dirt, asphalt, concrete), slope, overhead obstructions, carry distance from the container to the drop point, gate or guard access, and whether a COI or permit is required.
- Do you remove dunnage and debris?
- Yes when you ask — banding, airbags, dunnage, and packaging can be stripped and hauled off. Otherwise we leave it stacked on site.
- What if I have a hard deadline?
- Tell us about free-time expiry, a chassis return, a vessel cut-off, or a store reset date and we schedule to beat it.
