Re: I need your expert opinion...

OK, what they need for the container is a space at least 18 feet in length, 13 feet wide, and 15 feet high. You also need about the same area for the truck to back into and be able to do a straight drop. Drivers can get tricky and maneuver pods into odd spaces, but it is frowned upon.

The space you describe sounds like a no-go for any number of reasons. Overhangs, sloping ground, and it sounds tight.

I myself did numerous pick ups and drops at self-storage facilites. It's pretty common. I don't see why PODS would be unwilling to do that. Call them, and if the first tier phone crew isn't able to help, ask to speak to the solution center.

You have another option. Rent a U-Haul and unload your container either at its current location or at the warehouse (in either Fremont or Hayward.) This at least gets the pod out of your driveway.
