Freight Run can work with Self Storage Facilities who understand Logistics
Posted On 4th February 2025It isn’t necessarily easy to access with a large truck most Self Storage facilities. However, with a smaller or straight 24’, 28’ or 32’ truck most self-storage facilities can handle pickups and deliveries from such sized trucks; a few from much larger trucks.
Keep in mind a larger truck might mean it cannot access the facility, and you will need to rent a forklift and unload it from a nearby spot – it is doubtful they will be able to get right to your unit.
However, check with the Manager of your facility and ask – they might be even able to handle a larger truck and can, if your freight is palletized, tell you where the closest place to rent a forklift is. Many businesses are now using Self Storage Facilities to store excess goods, records, or even their entire inventories spread amongst multiple units.
The following Self Storage facilities have truck height docks and the Managers of these facilities are familiar with Logistics and Freight Run in particular and we have worked with them in the past:

We suggest you call these facilities directly to rent space and ask them in particular for a unit suited for truck deliveries and pickups. Then connect with FreightRun to coordinate shipments, being careful to tell them if the self storage facility you are using has a truck dock, and if not be aware you need a truck to deliver that has a mechanical liftgate and you need to alert trucking company that liftgate service is required for any delivery / pickup.
