Why San Rafael Containers Ship From Oakland
According to the Port of Oakland, used container inventory for Oakland reaches the market directly through Oakland Seaport marine terminals, where ocean containers are handled for Northern California before drayage moves equipment into Bay Area depot yards. Drayage is the truck movement connecting the terminals and yards.
That puts Oakland's supply at the gateway where the ocean containers arrive, rather than requiring a cross-country rail journey to reach that depot market. Eveon Containers serves San Rafael from the Oakland depot, about twenty miles away. Enter your ZIP code to see the delivery cost for your address alongside the container price.
