Delivery Access Rules (The Stuff That Prevents Redelivery Fees)
What access do you need for delivery?
We need a 10-foot-wide path and 12-foot overhead clearance for trucks and trailers. The placement spot must be within 20 feet of a paved/hard surface so our service truck can safely reach it.
Can you drive on lawns or grass?
No. We do not drive service trucks on lawns/grass. Use pavers, pavement, asphalt, concrete, or compacted stone access. If the site is soft or muddy, we’ll recommend mats/stone base/relocation.
Why do deliveries fail most often in North Jersey?
Tight urban access, overhead obstructions, and blocked routes are common—especially near dense corridors and loading zones. A quick text-photo check prevents 90% of “we couldn’t place it” issues.
10 Reasons Deliveries Fail in Jersey City, Newark & Bayonne (and the Fix)
- Access under 10 ft wide → relocate to a wider approach or curbside placement.
- Overhead clearance under 12 ft → trim branches or choose a clear route/spot.
- Placement too far from hard surface → move the unit within 20 ft of pavement/pavers/stone.
- Locked gate / missing access code → confirm code/key + on-site contact.
- Cars blocking the route → reserve the route like a delivery lane; cone it off.
- Soft/wet ground → ground mats, compacted stone base, relocate, or reschedule.
- Wrong entrance/address → send a pin + “use this driveway/loading bay” notes.
- Unmarked placement → flag/paint/chalk the exact spot (especially multi-tenant lots).
- Surface risk (pavers/new asphalt) → use protection (mats/plywood) where appropriate.
- No site contact → assign a reachable point person during the delivery window.

Local Scenarios: Construction • Weddings • Residential
These blocks are written for voice search (“Hey Siri…”) and AI summaries: direct answers first, then specifics.
Construction (job site restroom rentals)
For construction porta potty rental and OSHA compliant construction restrooms, the biggest issue is service access. Keep units within 20 ft of a hard surface and maintain a 10 ft access path with 12 ft overhead clearance. For long-term sites, plan weekly porta potty service and adjust for crew size. Use: porta potty requirements by crew size and how often should porta potties be serviced.
Weddings & Events (temporary restroom rentals)
For portable restrooms for public events and restroom trailers for corporate events, access is the #1 failure point—especially when guests arrive and vehicles block the path. Reserve a clear delivery lane, verify overhead clearance, and protect sensitive surfaces. If you’re deciding between a VIP restroom trailer and upscale portable restrooms, start in the Resource Hub and request a fast quote.
Residential (driveway & backyard placements)
For remodels, graduations, and home projects, the most common issue is placing a unit deep into a yard. We can’t drive on grass, so placement must be reachable from pavers/pavement/stone and within 20 ft of a hard surface. If the yard is soft, we’ll recommend relocation or ground protection.
