We’ll we waited all day Friday then the driver Ceaser called and said there was an issue locating it and we agreed he could deliver it Saturday morning.

“Chris was exceptional to deal with, I had complete piece of mind. The truck driver John has to rate 10 out of 10 for his interaction and delivery skills. I wish to express that I am very happy with the service from both onsite storage solutions and the Delivery Company.”
“Thank you for your excellent service. Riley made the delivery day before yesterday and was efficient and professional. Completely accommodating in placement setting the crossties underneath. I had no way of helping him aside from showing him where we thought to put them. He looked like he was in a strong man contest flipping and setting those ties perfectly. Communicated very well, got in his mind how he was going to approach the drop and delivered perfectly. I would certainly recommend anyone use your service and Riley is a perfect example of someone you want representing your company. Thank You”
