Mariner Containers runs one depot: 153 FM 1564, Greenville, TX 75402. Every container and cabin we sell is loaded there and hauled out by road. We do not operate satellite yards, so the honest way to describe our coverage is by driving distance from Greenville, not by a list of city names.
Greenville sits on I-30 about 50 miles north east of Dallas. That puts the whole Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex inside a 90 minute haul, the rest of Texas and all of Oklahoma inside a single driver day, and the Gulf Coast, Arkansas and Louisiana comfortably within normal freight range. Shipping is a flat $450 per order wherever it goes.

What a delivery actually needs
Most failed deliveries are site problems, not freight problems. Before you order, walk the drop point and check three things:
- Approach. A tilt-bed truck slides the container off the back as it pulls forward, so it needs a straight, level run of roughly 60 ft for a 20 ft container and roughly 100 ft for a 40 ft, plus the length of the truck itself.
- Width and overhead. Around 12 ft of width, and 15 ft of clear height for the raised bed. Power lines, telephone drops, carport roofs and low branches are the usual obstructions.
- Ground. Firm and level. A loaded tilt-bed sinks into soft ground, and a container set on unlevel ground racks slightly and the doors stop closing cleanly. Blocks, ties or a gravel pad under the four corner castings solve it.
If the site cannot take a truck, tell us before the order is scheduled. Carriers charge for waiting time, redelivery and returns, and those costs are not covered by the flat shipping rate.
