Set up delivery or pick-up If you are renting a semi-trailer, contact the company renting to coordinate transport of the semitrailer at the desired location, or arrange pickup if the choice is offered. Verify the delivery or pickup dates, as well as any additional costs. Ensure that you have a space to house the shipping containers for sale. This could be your home or an approved storage facility. Be sure that there is enough room for the trailer to park and that the ground is level and solid.
