No. JOLT offices and containers are mobile and temporarily placed, so you don't need a permit to use one anywhere in Colorado, and the same goes for every place JOLT delivers.
Before delivery
- Pick the spot. Choose firm, level, well-drained ground. The truck needs about 70 ft of straight approach for a 20 ft unit and about 100 ft for a 40 ft unit.
- Plan the door side and the power. Decide which way the doors face. A Base office runs on site power through its 50-amp inlet; Grid-Free brings its own solar and battery.
- Know your zone. Find the job town on the delivery zones page. Breckenridge is Zone C — $850 per unit each way (pickup published), and pickup is the same fixed fee.
For storage, see the 20 ft storage container. The Colorado container rental page covers every town we serve, or reserve yours.
