How can I get an emergency relief office trailer fast?
Several emergency relief trailers can be delivered within 24 hours if you are flexible with the size, type, and payment terms. If your business or school needs space immediately due to any disaster, it’s best to contact every local modular building and office trailer supplier in your area and take a quick inventory of what is available. Here are some quick tips:
1. Be prepared to move quickly and have space available at the location where you need the office trailer. Remove obstacles like landscaping, parked vehicles, and any other items that block the delivery and installation of a trailer or modular building.
2. In most cases, your local building and safety department will expedite the permitting process so you can get the space you need. Be prepared to provide details like the office trailer type, size, and installation method. Suppliers can provide this information.
3. Be prepared to set up special payment terms with the supplier. Suppliers can be flexible but must protect their investments and limit financial or safety risks.
