We prorate your rent by the day after the first 28-day billing cycle, so you don't have to pay for a full month when you only have your mobile containers and offices for a few days.
While other companies may be able to do small container modifications, most don't have an in-house fabrication staff or 90,000 sq ft fabrication facility like we do. As a result, they outsource the work on your custom container, so you don't know who's actually building it.
Rest assured knowing your modified shipping container will be built to the highest quality standards. Our certified weld and quality control inspectors check every step of the fabrication process to ensure everything is structurally sound and built to your specifications.
Whether you're in need of a storage container for your commercial business, a portable office for your construction site, or a moving container for your home, our process is simple and straightforward.

Let us know if you would like to add any of our rental options, like a folding table or shelving.
Choose from padlocks, puck locks and other enhanced security options. All of our storage containers come standard with dual-locking, vault-like security.
You can expect standard delivery within 3-5 days of your order. If you need expedited delivery, we will do everything in our power to accommodate your needs.
Do you need to keep your shipping container at our location? Prefer to have our team deliver your packed container to a location of your choice? Let us know, and we'll be by your side to work out the logistics.
Let our team know where we should deliver your mobile storage container for rent in Murrieta, CA. Be sure to let us know if there are any special conditions that might prevent our drivers from entering your chosen destination. Before you schedule your delivery, let us know which direction you would like the doors of your container to face.
Our drivers can deliver your storage container Monday-Friday, between the hours of 6AM and 2PM local time. Our two-hour delivery window is the most precise in the industry. If you desire another delivery time outside of our standard delivery options, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. As a courtesy, our driver will call you at least 30 minutes before they arrive at your drop-off destination.
Before we deliver your Conex box, prepare your delivery area by ensuring that there are no low overhangs, arches, wires, trees or any other obstacles that could interfere with your delivery. It's a good idea to mark the space where you would like your steel container placed.
When our driver arrives, they will back our truck into the space where you would like your shipping container placed. Once we arrive, we will ensure that your container is delivered safely and securely. If placed on asphalt or pavement, we will use wood dunnage pads to make sure your ground surface is protected and the container is level.

MURRIETA, CA — The first week of school in the Murrieta Valley Unified School District featured a passionate Board of Education meeting Thursday with a lengthy discussion about a controversial update to the district's parental notification policy.
The meeting also caught the attention of California's top lawmaker.
In a 3-2 vote, the board voted to require the district to quickly notify students' parents if their child wants to be identified by a gender other than what is shown on official records. This includes students who want to use names different from their legal names or use pronouns that don't align with their biological sex per official records.
"This policy is a safeguard to our right to parent," one MVUSD dad said. It was a sentiment shared by those at Thursday's meeting who were on the side of putting the notification in place.
On the other hand, many who attended the meeting called for the district to abandon the policy, claiming it will harm LGBTQ kids — many of whom already feel marginalized.
"It will put children at risk — not just from some parents but the kids' own demons," said an educator, who pointed out an increased risk of suicide among LGBTQ students.
With the vote, the district stepped into unchartered territory that could prove financially costly.
Dina Harris, an attorney for the MVUSD, confirmed that the policy, as drafted, exposes the district to legal risk. She recommended that vagueries in the language be firmed up. Thursday's 3-2 vote included a directive that district staff develop a process on how to roll out the policy.
California school districts have been under watch, and on Friday California Attorney General Rob Bonta denounced the MVUSD policy.
"I am deeply disturbed to learn another school district has put at risk the safety and privacy of transgender and gender nonconforming students by adopting a forced outing policy," Bonta said. "My office remains committed to ensuring school policies do not target or seek to discriminate against California’s most vulnerable communities. California will not stand for violations of our students’ civil rights."
Bonta warned the Chino Hills Unified School District about its decision last month to adopt what the state leader also called an "outing policy."
Bonta sent a letter last month to CVUSD Superintendent Norman Enfield and the district's board, emphasizing "potential infringements" on students' civil and privacy rights and educational opportunities.
California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond sent a letter to the board Thursday, imploring trustees to not adopt the policy.
Pardue, a teacher who was elected to the MVUSD board in November after financial backing from the Inland Empire Family PAC led by Pastor Tim Thompson of 412 Church Temecula Valley, bashed the state and said the board policy sends a "strong signal to the community that we stand for parental rights."
The Inland Empire Family PAC works "to stop the indoctrination of our children by placing candidates on school boards who will fight for Christian and Conservative values."
Lunn, whose children attend school in the MVUSD, called the policy a sham, one that has nothing to do with protecting students or parents.
The policy is about "picking a fight with Sacramento, funded by your tax dollars" in an effort to get in front of the state Supreme Court, Lunn said.
The goal is not to win the policy fight but instead "bankrupt public education," Lunn continued. "This board policy is straight out of the clown factory and I want no part of it."

MURRIETA, CA — Just because it's still June doesn't mean cities across Riverside County aren't ready to celebrate the 4th of July. Fireworks and parties are planned starting Saturday, ahead of America's 247th birthday.
It begins in Murrieta as the city combines pre-Independence Day festivities with a 32nd "Birthday Bash" for the municipality, which was incorporated in 1991.
Murrieta officials have planned an outdoor concert, food vendors, a kids' play zone and fireworks set to music in the park as nightfall reaches California Oaks Sports Park.
North of the 91 Freeway, the city of Eastvale will also host a fireworks extravaganza Saturday, beginning at 9 p.m., in Community Park on Citrus Street.
On the July 4th weekend, multiple pyrotechnics celebrations are planned from one end of Riverside County to the other.
On the Fourth of July, events are planned at a string of venues countywide.
Beaumont will celebrate the 4th of July at Stewart Park, Ninth Street and Orange Avenue
Corona's traditional "Main Street U.S.A Parade" will begin at about 9 a.m. at Ontario and Main Streets, featuring law enforcement units, fire engines, marching bands, military hardware and show animals. The procession will travel about a mile, concluding at Olive and Main streets around noon. A fireworks show is set for 9 p.m. at Corona's Santana Regional Park.
Lake Elsinore's July 4th extravaganza sets off at Lakepoint Park, 420 Lakeshore Drive.
The parade will run along Old Town Front Street. A fireworks extravaganza is planned later in the day in Ronald Reagan Sports Park after dark.
In addition to the above venues, fireworks shows are scheduled at the following locations, beginning at 9 p.m. on July 4:

Riverside will host 4th of July events both at La Sierra Park, 5215 La Sierra Avenue and also at Mount Rubidoux, 4706 Mount Rubidoux Drive.
RULES ABOUT FIREWORKS IN RIVERSIDE NOT AT AN APPROVED CITY EVENT:
In 2020, all but one public Fourth of July fireworks celebration was canceled because of the coronavirus public health lockdowns. The celebrations returned on a scaled-down level in 2021 and were back in full swing last year.
In Riverside County, private parties are prohibited from using fireworks except in Blythe, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs and Indio, where so-called "safe and sane" fireworks, certified by the state fire marshal, can be sold to the public.
What are "safe and sane" fireworks? The devices are mostly pyrotechnics that don't explode or fly, including sparklers, ground spinners, fountains, snappers and caps.
Under county Ordinance 858, which was amended by the Board of Supervisors in response to an outbreak of blazes in 2020, fines for illegally storing, transporting or setting off fireworks can range from $1,000 to $5,000.
What happens if you start a fire with fireworks?
Any person who triggers a brush fire due to the illegal use of fireworks can be held responsible for all suppression costs. Under the revised ordinance, property owners also face liability.
In the city of Riverside, people can report illegal fireworks by calling the city's hotline at 951-826-5311.
Elsewhere in Riverside County, reports are fielded via the sheriff's non-emergency enforcement line, 1-800-950-2444, or at https://www.riversidesheriff.org.

MURRIETA, CA —The mercury was expected to strike triple digits in Murrieta and across the Inland Empire over the coming weekend, the National Weather Service warned. Meteorologists extended the current Inland Empire heat advisory through Tuesday, July 18 as they urged residents to take precautions when venturing or working outdoors amid skyrocketing temperatures.

Heat risk will be highest Saturday through Monday.
