Jacksonville is a true port market — JAXPORT is Florida's No. 1 container port, handling nearly 1.39 million TEUs in fiscal 2025 across the Blount Island, Dames Point and Talleyrand terminals on the St. Johns River, with two intermodal container transfer facilities and about 40 trains a day on CSX, Norfolk Southern and Florida East Coast Railway. Jacksonville is also the leading U.S. mainland gateway for Puerto Rico trade. That steady flow keeps empty boxes collecting locally and delivered prices at the low end of the national range: Western Container Sales listed fall 2026 Jacksonville depot prices at $1,320 for a used 20ft Wind & Watertight box before delivery, US Conex listed a used 20ft at $1,742, and a local price index showed a used 20ft Cargo Worthy starting at $1,295 at Jacksonville depots, with delivery inside Duval County typically adding $350 to $750.
Delivery in Jacksonville
Most deliveries are tilt-bed drops that need a long, straight, level run — about 80 to 100 ft for a 20ft and about 120 ft for a 40ft, plus 12 to 14 ft of width and 14 to 16 ft of overhead clearance. Set the box on level, firm ground — concrete, asphalt, compacted gravel or blocking under the corners. Confirm the exact spot and door direction before delivery day, because moving a set container takes another truck. Florida specifics matter: Jacksonville's humid subtropical climate, heavy rain and hurricane season punish bad door seals and rust low, wet sites fast, so pick a spot that drains and inspect gaskets closely. Jacksonville's zoning does not address containers directly — accessory structures in most residential districts sit in the rear or side yard at least 5 ft from side and rear lines — and any container used as an office, workshop or home falls under the Florida Building Code, so check before you order.
