Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent a shipping container in Ontario?

Shipping container rental rates in Ontario vary by size, condition, and rental term. A standard 20FT dry container typically rents for a monthly rate that varies with current market conditions and rental duration. Contact S&R Trucking for current pricing and availability at our Brampton yard.

What sizes of shipping containers does S&R Trucking offer?

We carry 10FT, 20FT, and 40FT containers in multiple configurations including standard dry, high cube, climate controlled (reefer), insulated, and open-top. Contact us for current inventory and availability.

Can I buy a shipping container from S&R Trucking?

Yes. S&R Trucking sells both new (one-trip) and used shipping containers. We can also arrange delivery to your site and provide documentation for cross-border purchases.

How quickly can you deliver a shipping container to my location?

Most Ontario deliveries can be completed within 24–48 hours from our Brampton yard, depending on current availability and your location. Same-day delivery may be available for urgent requirements — call us to confirm.

Do you offer climate controlled container storage?

Yes. S&R Trucking offers reefer (refrigerated) container storage at our Brampton yard, with temperature ranges from -40°C to +30°C. Suitable for pharmaceuticals, food, electronics, and other temperature-sensitive goods.

Can you transport a container I’ve already purchased?

Yes. Our fleet can transport containers you’ve purchased from us or another provider. We handle delivery from our yard, from a port, or from a rail terminal — just contact us with the pickup and delivery details.

Do you store containers on site at your Brampton terminal?

Yes. Our 75-acre Brampton yard has capacity for both short-term and long-term container storage. Stored containers can be accessed by customers for loading and can be dispatched for transport on short notice.

What’s the difference between a reefer container and an insulated container?

A reefer container has an active refrigeration unit that maintains temperature regardless of outside conditions. An insulated container provides passive thermal protection — it slows temperature change but does not actively control it. Reefers are required for strict cold chain compliance; insulated containers work for goods that need protection from temperature extremes but don’t require precise control.

Can I get a container picked up from the CN Brampton or CP Vaughan terminal?

Yes — S&R Trucking operates daily drayage runs to CN Brampton and CP Vaughan terminals. If you have an import container at either terminal, we can pick it up and deliver it to our yard or directly to your site. See our drayage service page for details.

Do you handle cross-border container transport?

Yes. S&R Trucking provides cross-border container transport between Canada and the USA. We handle all necessary customs documentation and can coordinate with US-based carriers for door-to-door container moves.
