Shipping and Freight for Plastic Tanks
How we ship storage tanks: freight quoted with every order, LTL, shared flatbed or dedicated truck, will call at our Willis, Texas plant, or your own carrier.
How shipping works
Freight Is Quoted With Every Order
Plastic storage tanks are large, and no two shipments are alike. We quote freight for each order based on the tanks involved and where they are going. Your quote shows the shipping method and cost, so you know what to expect before you order.
LTL common carrier
Smaller tanks and partial loads can ship by common carrier (less than a truckload), sharing the truck with other freight.
Shared flatbed
Mid-size tanks often ride on a flatbed shared with other loads headed the same direction, which can keep costs down.
Dedicated truck
Large tanks and multi-tank orders may need a truck of their own. Oversized loads must ship on a dedicated truck.
Will call
You are welcome to pick up your tanks at our plant in Willis, Texas. We’ll let you know when your order is ready.
Your options
We Arrange It, or You Do
You can have us arrange freight, or you can make your own arrangements. We are happy to coordinate with your preferred broker or freight company on pickup times and loading.
Prepay and add
When we arrange shipping, we can prepay the freight and add it to your invoice.
Your carrier or broker
If you deal directly with a shipping company, you pay them directly. We coordinate the pickup at our plant.
Who pays
The customer is responsible for shipping costs, whether we make the arrangements or you work directly with the shipping company.
Where we ship
North America and Overseas
These shipping terms apply to shipments within North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico).
For overseas orders, the customer makes the shipping arrangements. We can arrange transportation to your preferred port or point of embarkation. Your arrangements take over from there.
