Hello Raja and group, I have spoken to White Label and several others thus far about managing two of my family's storage facilities in a nearby state. I found their details very scant in the proposal, and I would be very interested to hear what others' experience with them and other third party management ...

Hello, We have a open boat/rv yard with about 120 spaces. I like the Easy Storage platform as it accepts credit cards and e-checks (ACH) and offers gate access integration. We spend about $200/month plus cc fees of about 2.3% which covers the website hosting but not email. E-checks are $.50 each but ...

Hello folks, Funny you should ask; we just had this potential problem come up. I would not allow any third party vendor on the yard. It will be difficult to handle a problem if something occurs like they damage our facility or another customer's property. Also, wherever that POD (or in our recent ...

Hi Kelly, I've tried it all on my gravel boat/rv storage lot and nothing compares to orange traffic cones. You nail them to the ground with 10" or 12" long landscape nails found at Home Depot. I use one cone at the back and one at the front on each side of a space and they work great. If someone rolls ...

Mr. Kent, Thanks for that additional info. Sounds intriguing. I did a bit of digging and it appears the facilities that tap into this federal money would not be allowed to charge the truckers anything. Not going to work for me I'm afraid. Correct me if I'm wrong. Here's one of the supporters of ...

Hi Mr. Kent and Mr. Fisher, Thanks so much for each of your thoughts. I also restrict the boat/rv customers to 5am-11pm to minimize trouble. The truckers need access 24/7 though. I wasn't aware of the govt. efforts to accommodate the overnight truckers. Yes, certainly an issue. But I hear the overnighters ...

Hi Terri, We restrict our boat/rv yard access hours to 5am-11pm , 365 days a year. It hasn't been a problem. I tell them it's for everyone's safety and best interest. Most customers will come the day before they want to use their "toy" anyway to do prep work at home. ------------------------------ ...

Good morning all, My storage business is located in Manor, an suburb on Austin's east side. I have a 2.5 acre uncovered boat/rv storage yard on my 18 acres which is slowly renting up. I do not allow commercial vehicle customers on the boat/rv yard as I think it's bad to mix those two types of customers. ...
