Delivery and Pickup
Delivery, Placement and Pickup: what it covers
Quick answer
The route, the stop and the carry decide most Nashville deliveries. A provider that checks those three before confirming a booking avoids most of the failed visits that come from a truck arriving at a blocked curb.
A delivery in Nashville is a truck journey, and the truck has to reach a legal stop, carry the unit to its spot, set it level and come back for it at the end. The stop and the carry take more planning than the setting, particularly on a close-set block or a road that is under work.
Nolensville Pike and the south-east side are growing, so a new subdivision road can change between one booking and the next. The airport area has warehouse and road work, and the trucks there follow the road as it changes.
Pickup is planned at the start of the rental. The collection day and time are agreed with the site lead the day before, so the truck is not sent to a spot that a new delivery has blocked.
Keep the truck clear of pedestrians during the lift and the carry, and do not set the unit on a slope where it can roll. Check the route for low wires and branches before the truck enters the street.

Our process
How our delivery, placement and pickup visit works
Plan the route and the stop
Work out where the truck stops legally and how it reaches that point, including any lane closure or road work on the way.
Plan the carry
Measure the distance from the stop to the spot and note any step, gate or threshold, since a long carry adds time.
Confirm the spot and the surface
Check that the spot is level, firm and legal for the rental period, and that the site lead will receive the unit.
Deliver and set
The unit is carried in, set level, checked for the door and lock, and the servicing schedule is given to the site lead.
Collect at the end
The unit is collected on the agreed day, with the route checked again so the pickup is not blocked.
A new home on a subdivision lot needs a unit for the length of the build. The road to the subdivision is changing, and the route the truck used last month may now be closed.
What we do
The provider checks the route on the day of booking and again before the truck is sent, and places the unit on the lot's drive or pad.
What to expect
The build has a unit from the first week to the last, and the truck reaches the lot on the day it is booked.

Why does the route decide the booking?
A route that works in the morning can be closed by a lane closure or road work by the afternoon, so the provider checks the path to the stop as well as the stop itself.
The path includes every turn and every crossing the truck will make. The site lead should report any closure or event that affects that path, because a missed turn on a busy road is the usual reason a delivery fails.
What happens when the spot is blocked?
The site lead tells the provider before the truck arrives, and the delivery is re-planned for a different spot or a later time.
Skip bins, deliveries and parked vans are the usual blockers. A quick call and an updated sketch are usually enough, and the unit should not be carried to a new spot without a check that it still meets the placement plan.
When is the pickup set?
For the day after the last use, with the time agreed the day before. The truck works a route, so the time can move within the day.
The spot should be clear of other equipment when the truck arrives, and the crew should know when to expect it. The pad and the approach are left as they were found.
How are tunnel and bridge routes planned?
Where a route crosses a bridge or passes a constrained underpass, the provider checks the height and width rules for the vehicle and the timing of any closure before the booking is confirmed.
A route that takes a longer way round can be better than a shorter one through a constrained crossing, and the provider can say which it will use.
The stop on the far side of the crossing is checked for the turn and the loading space, since a truck that clears the crossing still needs a place to stop.

Why delivery, placement and pickup is different in Greater Nashville
The south-east side along Nolensville Pike changes quickly, so a route that worked for one subdivision may not for the next.
The airport area's road work can close a stop for a day, and the provider plans around the closure dates it is given.
Close-set streets near downtown leave little room to turn, so the carry from the stop is measured before the truck is sent.

A Nashville portable toilet quote is set by a short list of drivers: how many units the site needs, how many days they stay, the route to the spot, whether accessible units and handwash stations are added, and how much permit work sits around the placement.
On a Nashville infill lot the unit goes where the frontage, the route and the permit allow: a curb lane under the permit for that space, a side gap the truck can reach, or a corner inside a site fence.

How long after the job is pickup?
The pickup is set for the day after the last use, and it is confirmed on the day before.
