Containers make nice storage, but they are heavy. Your truck will be much happier with something like a S-280 commo shelter. Here are some empty weights: 40 foot contianer 7780 lbs
20 foot container 4850 lbs
S-280 shelter 1400 lbs
There's a lot more to it than calling for an appoinment. http://www.govliquidation.com/forms/Procedures-for-Access-to-Eglin-Air-Force-Base-and-Affidavit.pdf. I was told the commanding general of Eglin started this last year. Looks like it takes at a minimum, five business days.
