Hi, I am David Hall
I served nearly 14 years as a United States Marine before moving into the container industry. The Corps taught me that details matter, that commitments are kept, and that you do not leave someone hanging when they are counting on you. That is the standard I bring to this business.
I came into this business because buying a container was harder than it needed to be. People were paying for units they had never seen, then meeting a delivery charge nobody had quoted them.
Site conditions matter too. A property on rural acreage needs a different delivery plan than a tight lot in New Orleans.
I built Louisiana Storage Containers to make buying a container in Louisiana simple: clear pricing, clear container grades and a written quote before you commit.
Delivery Geography in Louisiana
Louisiana spans river, coast and upland country. The lower Mississippi, the Atchafalaya and the Red River run through it.
New Orleans sits on the lower Mississippi River among canals, levees and low lots. Baton Rouge, the state capital, sits on Mississippi River bluffs, with wet ground and bayous around it. Lafayette is in Acadiana, a region of rice fields, crawfish ponds and farm country. Southwest Louisiana has prairie and marsh, with petrochemical sites around Lake Charles and the Calcasieu ship channel. North Louisiana has piney uplands, Red River bottoms and delta farmland.
What to Plan Around in Louisiana
In Louisiana, the ground issues to check are water, soft or filled ground and uneven support under the four corners of the container. Louisiana soils vary from river silt and heavy clay to prairie, sand, marsh and piney uplands. Clay holds water and softens when wet. Low coastal and bayou sites can have drainage and settlement problems.
- ✓ Level, firm ground under all four corners
- ✓ Drainage that carries water away from the container
- ✓ Unpaved access to farm, ranch and acreage sites
- ✓ HOA covenants, deed restrictions and local permit questions
- ✓ Access at job sites, plants and other working sites
- ✓ Driveway width and overhead clearance on the truck's route
