Mobile Office Buyer's Guide: Your Details-to-Delivery Guide to Mobile Offices

How is my mobile office going to look when it gets here?

Although mobile office units are cleaned and maintained between uses, you never know exactly what shape your mobile office will be in when it arrives.  In order to get a good idea of its current condition, you can ask the vendors the following questions:

              -Has it required any major repairs? (They do, after all, come to you on wheels…)

              -Has it required any minor repairs?

              -What kind of site was it used on last? (There is a big difference between an office used as a temporary classroom and one used on a desert construction site)

Of course, the best way to ensure you will be satisfied with your mobile office is to take a look at it before you sign any contracts and before you have it delivered.  “Major repair” may mean something totally different to you than it means to your vendor.

Many vendors charge delivery fees based on mileage traveled, so before you make the final decision on a vendor, ask the following questions:

              -How much do you charge per mile for mobile office delivery?

              -How many miles from your dealership to my site is it?

(Remember that one company may charge $5/mile and be located 12 miles away and its competitor could charge $2/mile but be 70 miles away.) 

If your vendor is located out of state, check your state’s regulations regarding the size limit of mobile offices, and the transportation fees you may have to pay.  Usually, the vendor can help you with this.
