looking for a shipping container

Wondering if any of the 2cool Brain Trust might have a good lead on a 40 foot container in the Brackettville or Del Rio area. Checked craigslist plenty around San Antonio but the shipping to my ranch in Brackett is crazy.. Thanks for your help....

It might be cheaper for you to buy 2 20 foot containers and either buy or rent a 20 foot gooseneck trailer and haul them. The going rate for a truck with a special trailer to haul a 40 foot trailer is about $180 a hour. You need a trailer that folds or a huge forlift to load them and thats where they get you. I hauled mine with a mack winch truck and forty foot float with a rolling tailboard on it, drive it to container, hitch up a chain and lift the container up on the trailer without ever unhooking the trailer, finding somebody to do this and with the correct rig is the problem. If you search utube videos there are several 1 ton trucks with 40 foot flatbed hotshot rigs on there loading and hauling 40 foot cans, you need a winch in the back of the 1 ton like a warn 16k electrick and run the cable to the can. Cans are cheap, its the hauling that is not, usually that is what i have found, there are several containers for sale allready set up on texasbowhuntings claiifieds in del rio but he has same problem, no hauler for buyers, its hauling shock that is the rub. Iff you find a oil patch truck right now they want top dollar due to the boom, good luck!!

Container-It handles the Maersk container sales, can be found by googling them. They keep most of their inventory at a Con-Global yard about 15 minutes from the port.

If you call Con Global ask for Emma Cortez. I will make a couple calls for you tomorow. Most all of my customers are in this business.

I'm shopping for a 40ft container for my ranch in Kingsville. Shipping is killer though. I found some insulated aluminum containers in Dallas but shipping killed it for me

Black Angus Container in Robstown is close to you and they have a LOT of containers both 20' and 40'. I just got a price from them on a 20 footer.

Don't know what you want it for but if it is for a place to cook and sleep you can't beat the deals available on FEMA trailers.

Keep hearing stuff about $500 FEMA trailers, etc. - but I haven't found one yet. Most of the FEMA trailers use found are priced about in line with other used trailers. So who actually has these super-cheap FEMA trailers?
