You can rest assured knowing your custom container is safe in our hands. Our certified weld and quality control inspectors ensure everything is structurally sound and built to your specifications through every step of the process.
Renting a moving container from us makes your move much less stressful because you won't have to rush to pack your whole house into a moving truck in one day. Instead, you can take your time packing over the course of a month.

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.

Let our team know where we should deliver your mobile storage container for rent in Glendale, AZ. 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.

Stephen A. Smith said on the “Club Shay Shay” Podcast that Devin Booker has more of Kobe Bryant’s mentality than Jimmy Butler.

However, Smith disagreed with Iguodala for one particular reason–offense, which is why he said Booker is more like Bryant in terms of mentality.
“Jimmy Butler works, but the difference between Jimmy Butler and Devin Booker is Jimmy Butler doesn’t care that much about offense until the postseason arrives,” Smith says. “Kobe cared about it all the time, and Devin Booker cares about it all the time. They (are) coming out looking for their short from opening tip-off. Jimmy Butler, sometimes you literally feel like you got to throw something at him just to make him shoot the basketball. It’s not a priority for him. And that is why I would say no on (the Jimmy Butler to) Kobe comparison.”
Booker has previously stated that he is not a fan of all the Kobe Bryant comparisons in the past.
“I’m inspired by Kobe Bryant and the Mamba mentality, but I am not Kobe Bryant,” Booker said in an interview in 2021.
Nonetheless, this is a ringing endorsement for the Suns’ star guard.

GLENDALE, AZ — Glendale City Council unanimously voted Tuesday night to strike down a June contract amendment with the owner of VAI Resort, instead of putting the decision to a referendum.
The council's decision essentially leads to the same result a "no" vote in the referendum would have had.
The vote was never about whether the project will move forward, but, rather, an amended contract with VAI.
RELATED: VAI RESORT: New renderings, an inside look of its ‘party hotel’ tower and more
The project for the billion-dollar resort in the West Valley was first approved by the city council back in 2020.
At the time, the land was owned by Epic Resorts. It was then purchased by VAI, the company that is now building the resort and Mattel Adventure Park on the site.
"I supported the VAI project in 2020, I support the VAI project in 2023," said Glendale Vice Mayor Joyce Clark. "This is a good project. This will deliver many, many sales tax dollars to the general fund of this city that will be used for all kinds of projects, from parks and libraries to public safety and transportation, you name it."
In June, both the city and VAI agreed to amend that original contract due to those ownership changes. That new contract was struck down at a public meeting Tuesday night.
Glendale city officials said the project is expected to bring tax revenue and jobs to the West Valley.
"A lot of people will come here to vacation, where, in the past, they might have gone to California," said Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers. "This is an opportunity that we get to showcase our city, we get a chance to raise the boats, or high tide rises all boats. That's what's going to happen here. We have a great opportunity to make the city better and really showcase it."
That doesn't mean everyone in that part of the Valley feels that way though.
West Phoenix resident Kevin Smith spoke at Tuesday night's meeting about some of the concerns he claims voters near the project's site have.
"The folks that I spoke to had various issues with the project, from giving the tax break to a luxury resort, to the water usage, to noise caused by the potential 100 live events per year," said Smith.
Worker Power Institute, an Arizona nonprofit that previously worked against the proposed Coyotes arena in Tempe, wanted the public to have the final say on tax incentives being provided to the VAI Resort development by placing the project on the ballot.
The group sent out this statement in response to Tuesday night's city council vote:
"Today, Glendale City Council repealed their June 13th decision to approve a new development agreement for the VAI Resort project. Worker Power Institute canvassers spoke with thousands of Glendale voters who expressed numerous concerns over the 25-year property tax breaks and significant changes in the updated development agreement. One of these changes, the open-air amphitheater with over 100 live events per year, greatly worried Glendale residents due to the traffic and noise such a venue would bring. Our understanding is that today’s vote to repeal the new development agreement would alleviate this particular concern as the open-air amphitheater is no longer covered. While residents still have many concerns surrounding the project, we feel tonight was a good first step."
ABC15 has reached out to VAI Resort representatives for a comment on Tuesday night's decision and they responded with the following statement:
“We appreciate the city of Glendale’s continued support for VAI Resort, and we are excited for the project to move forward on track with the city’s partnership,” said Grant Fisher, President and CEO of VAI Global Development. “Apart from the financial benefits VAI Resort will bring to the city of Glendale, VAI will be among the largest employers in the state, with hundreds of jobs created for the construction of the project and more than 1,800 full time positions for the resort. As an Arizona native, I am personally so proud to create this legacy in my home state that will positively impact the community and residents."

The Metallica Weekend Takeover hit metro Phoenix like a ton of bricks on Friday, Sept, 1., as the kings of the thrash-metal scene rolled into State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, for the opening night of a No Repeat Weekend that found them cutting two songs from the setlist without explanation.
They've been playing 16 songs every opening night since this tour hit the States, following “Seek & Destroy” with a set-closing “Master of Puppets.”
Fans at State Farm Stadium got 14 songs and no “Master of Puppets.” As we noted in our full review, "Normally, I hesitate to overuse a word as ripe for overuse as 'tragedy.' But what else would you call it?"
COVID troubles:Metallica reschedules 2nd Phoenix concert due to COVID-19 after ending early Friday
As we found out the following afternoon, when they they announced that Sunday's show would be rescheduled to Saturday, Sept. 9, "unfortunately, COVID has caught up with James."
That's James Hetfield, of course, who apparently opted out of two songs while dealing with symptoms.
Metallica have promised two completely different concerts in each city they hit on a stadium tour in support of their first studio release in seven years, an album titled “72 Seasons” that’s been hailed as both their best thrash album of the century and a savage return to the form of their earliest triumphs.
They only played three songs from that new album on opening night in Glendale in a set that touched on every era, from “Seek & Destroy” (a highlight of their seminal debut that somehow just turned 40, “Kill ‘Em All”) to the title track of 2016’s “Hardwired… to Self-Destruct.”
They also treated fans to highlights as essential to their legacy as “Creeping Death” and “Fade to Black” before bringing the set to a thundering finish with “Seek & Destroy" while still leaving plenty of classics in reserve for Sunday.
If you're headed to State Farm Stadium on Sunday, you should check our ultimate guide to everything you need to know before you go.
