Pull the container before last free day
Use yard capacity to reduce demurrage exposure when the final warehouse cannot receive the box in time.
Fontana container storage and pre-pull
Fontana container storage and pre-pull support for tight warehouse windows.
ABFBA gives importers and warehouse operators a Fontana yard option for pre-pull, short-term container storage, yard staging and empty return coordination when receiving windows do not align with terminal timing.
Operating fit
Useful when warehouse congestion and last free day are driving the move.
Shippers usually land on this page when they need time between terminal pickup and warehouse receiving, or when they need a cleaner plan for empty return coordination after unload.

Container storage and yard sequencing
Hold containers in Fontana so dispatch can line up warehouse appointments or outbound transfer.
Empty return coordination
Plan the final empty return around terminal instructions, equipment cycle and warehouse unload timing.
Execution details
What shapes the final yard-storage quote
Website estimates do not lock pricing. Final charges depend on storage days, chassis requirements, yard turns, empty return timing, terminal restrictions and whether transload or final delivery is bundled into the move.
Storage window
The number of storage days and the planned pickup or unload date are the first questions dispatch will review.
Container type
Size, weight, commodity and whether the move is import, export or repositioning all affect yard planning.
Downstream handoff
A storage move is easier to quote when ABFBA also knows the final warehouse appointment or outbound transfer plan.
Website estimate note
Use the website estimate as planning guidance, not a final quote.
Every ABFBA page is built to help importers and warehouse teams outline the move before speaking with dispatch. Final pricing still depends on terminal conditions, last free day, chassis, fuel, weight, appointment windows, transload needs, storage days and accessorials.
Planning ranges are placeholders.
Planning ranges are placeholders. Final quote depends on terminal, LFD, chassis, fuel, weight, appointment window, storage/transload needs and accessorials.
FAQ
Container storage and yard FAQ
Can ABFBA help with pre-pull before last free day?
Yes. ABFBA can review pre-pull options when the warehouse cannot receive the container before last free day.

No. Storage, transload and final delivery are separate planning components, although they can be combined in one quote.
Is this mainly for Inland Empire warehouses?
Yes. Most requests involve Fontana and nearby Inland Empire warehouse markets, but surrounding Southern California lanes can also be reviewed.
