Delivery zones, fees and windows from our Gypsum yard

How are the Colorado zones drawn?

Delivery from the Gypsum yard starts at $450 per standard unit each way. Five Colorado zones and Mountain West (Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana) have fixed published fees; everything else is quoted. Your physical job address sets the delivery fee or quote; your company headquarters, billing address and project manager's home do not.

The yard is at 60 Spring Creek Rd in Gypsum, directly on the I-70 corridor between Denver and Grand Junction. That location gives the truck a practical starting point for eastbound, westbound and mountain highway runs. The zones group drive legs with similar dispatch demands rather than charging a fluctuating mileage rate. You can review the full rate card on pricing, then use this page to match the job town and distance.

Zone A covers the nearby Eagle County corridor west of Vail Pass: Gypsum, Eagle, Edwards, Avon and Beaver Creek. Zone B covers Vail, Minturn, Wolcott and Glenwood Springs. The towns sit on different sides of the yard, but each is a defined Zone B run.

Zone C combines Summit County with the Roaring Fork Valley. It includes Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne and Keystone to the east, plus Carbondale, Basalt, Aspen and Snowmass to the south and west. Zone D contains the longer Colorado legs to Steamboat Springs, Leadville, Grand Junction and Buena Vista.

Zone E reaches the I-70 foothills and Denver metro. It starts with Idaho Springs and Georgetown, continues through Evergreen, Golden and Morrison, and covers the listed metro addresses through Denver, Boulder, Aurora, Centennial and Castle Rock. Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Montana and Colorado ZIPs beyond 160 miles by road from Gypsum use Mountain West pricing instead.

The table is the published assignment for every named town. A distance is useful for planning the day, but it does not override the zone. For example, Minturn and Vail are both Zone B even though their road distances differ. Likewise, an address in Aspen and one in Breckenridge both use Zone C.

10, 12 and 20 ft units in Colorado and the Mountain West ship on JOLT's own truck. 40 ft units and every order outside the Rocky Mountains ship on a vetted partner carrier from the nearest JOLT source yard. Fees are fixed in the five Rockies states; elsewhere, request a written project quote. Start at Colorado locations for statewide coverage, or browse the location groups in the guide index when your project team is comparing several sites.

What does each zone cost, and what does “each way” mean?

In Colorado and the Mountain West, “each way” means the published fee applies once when a rental unit is delivered and again when it is picked up. The fee depends on unit class: standard and small units share a base rate, while 40 ft units use the large rate. Those are two separate service legs and two separate lines on the first invoice. A Zone B standard delivery is Zone B — $625 per unit each way (pickup published), while a Denver standard delivery is $1,325 each way in Zone E.

The delivery line pays for the run to the prepared job address. The pickup line pays for retrieval when the rental ends; both legs are charged on the first invoice, with the reservation deposit credited there. It does not mean one payment covers a round trip, and it does not hide pickup inside monthly rent. Keep rent, outbound delivery and prepaid pickup on separate lines.

Every Colorado town and road distance in the catalog appears below. Distances are road miles from the yard, not straight-line measurements. They help your superintendent understand the truck's route and help the crew plan a realistic arrival day. They are not multiplied by a per-mile rate.

The shortest route is not always the simplest placement. A close site can still have a narrow turn, a steep final approach or no room to unload. A longer interstate run can have a clean staging lane and straightforward placement. The published fee prices the dispatch leg; site readiness determines whether the driver can finish that leg safely. The mountain delivery guide covers the access questions to settle before the truck leaves.

Town pages put the same fee into local context. Check Gypsum, Eagle, Avon, Glenwood Springs, Frisco, Silverthorne, Carbondale or Steamboat Springs without having to recalculate anything.

What does Mountain West delivery cost?

Mountain West covers Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Montana, plus Colorado ZIPs more than 160 miles by road from Gypsum. Standard and small units are $3,495 per unit each way; 40 ft units are $5,495 per unit each way. Rental pickup is the same published fee as delivery, prepaid on the first invoice. Outside Colorado, every rental has a 12-month minimum; a Colorado job address keeps the minimum for its unit class even when its ZIP has Mountain West pricing.

In Colorado a second 10 or 12 ft unit on the same truck is $225 per leg. In the Mountain West a 10 or 12 ft unit riding with a larger unit pays the small-companion fee ($1,095), and every second 20 ft unit on the same order receives 25% off both legs; 40 ft units are never paired.

The listed Mountain West towns are Jackson, Sun Valley, Park City, Bozeman and Big Sky. The state pages explain the broader programs for Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Montana.

Mountain West is not Zone E with more mileage. Its flat regional fee is per unit each way, and the job ZIP determines whether the minimum is the Colorado catalog minimum or 12 months outside the state. If the schedule cannot support that term, say so before reserving.

The project address still controls. A contractor headquartered in Denver with a Park City site pays Mountain West fees, not Zone E. A Montana billing office with a Colorado job address uses the Colorado zone assigned to that job (or Mountain West pricing if the job ZIP is beyond the Colorado zone boundary).

Every JOLT office is built and outfitted at our yard in Gypsum, Colorado, then shipped to the job. See how.

Delivery outside Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana is quoted per project. We route the unit from the nearest JOLT source yard and send a written delivered quote within one business day. It holds for 14 days.

1. Pick the office, the term and the job ZIP.
2. We route it from the nearest JOLT source yard and price the set for your site.
3. You get a written delivered quote within one business day. It holds for 14 days.

Placement on your prepared pad and pickup at the end of the term are in the quote. Storage-only orders can be quoted. Rentals outside Colorado have a 12-month minimum.

For a purchase, there is no pickup charge. Delivery is included in Zones A and B; elsewhere in Colorado and the Mountain West buyers receive 10% off the applicable fixed delivery fee, including companion and paired rates where they apply. Outside the five states, buyer delivery is quoted per project.

How do delivery windows work?

The standard delivery window is 2–4 weeks from reservation for every rental unit. We confirm a delivery date inside that window after the unit, truck route and site access are lined up. Rent starts on delivery, not when you reserve.

A window is not a promise that every road condition will stay unchanged. Winter weather, chain restrictions, pass closures and unsafe final approaches can move the confirmed date, occasionally past the window. That is especially important on routes over Vail Pass, toward Summit County, into the Roaring Fork Valley or across a steep local road. We coordinate changes by phone or email rather than sending a driver into a closed or unsafe route.

How it works takes the order from reservation through pickup. At reservation, choose the unit and provide the physical job ZIP. We use that address to assign the zone and review the delivery window. Before delivery, your crew prepares access and the placement area. A representative must be present when the truck arrives.

JOLT Express is the only faster published option. For $795, a Base 20 ft office container at a Colorado job address can be on site within 7 business days instead of the standard window. Express is paid at reservation and applies only to the Base office. It does not apply to Grid-Free, Alpine, a 40 ft office, storage, fence or equipment.

Express changes the schedule, not the zone. The applicable delivery fee still follows the job address, and the site still has to meet the same access rules. A narrow road or unprepared pad does not become workable because the order is expedited. If the Base office and schedule fit, select them in the reservation process; if they do not, use the standard window.

What does the truck need at your site?

The truck needs a firm, level, well-drained placement surface and a clear, straight unloading line. Plan on about 70 ft of straight-line access for a 20 ft unit and about 100 ft for a 40 ft unit. JOLT uses a tilt-bed or flatbed truck, and the unit must travel through the approach before it can be set where you marked it.

Overhead clearance matters for the truck, the raised bed and the container. Look for power lines, branches, eaves and temporary construction that may cross the unloading path. Width at the gate is only one part of the check. The driver also needs room to line up, back straight and leave after placement.

The customer must locate and mark utilities, obtain required consents, and have a representative present at delivery. The representative should know the approved orientation, door direction and exact placement point. A last-minute change from one side of the site to another can create a new access problem even when both spots look open.

Read section 5 of the Rental Agreement Terms for the requirements that govern delivery and site conditions. The answer to how much delivery space is needed gives a focused layout check, and the answer on what size truck delivers a container explains why the approach has to be longer than the box.

Send questions before dispatch, not while the truck waits at a blocked gate. Call 970-279-1015 or email reserve@joltrents.com. We are available Monday through Friday, 7am–7pm Mountain Time, and respond within 15 minutes during business hours. Photos and a clear description of the approach help the team identify what needs attention, but the customer remains responsible for a compliant, accessible site.

If the truck cannot complete a trip because the site is not ready, the trip charge is stated in section 5 of the Rental Agreement Terms. The prevention is simple: verify the route, surface, utility marks, overhead space and on-site representative before the delivery date.

What if your job is outside the published zones?

Lower-48 job ZIPs outside Colorado and the Mountain West receive a written project quote. We do not force an unknown ZIP into the nearest zone or estimate a fee from a map; Alaska, Hawaii and destinations the ZIP lookup cannot resolve also receive a written quote.

Enter the physical job ZIP in the reservation flow. A Rockies ZIP resolves to its fixed fee; other lower-48 ZIPs require a project quote. Your name, mobile number, what you need and job ZIP are enough to start.

The quote uses the actual destination and route. This distinction matters for rural addresses, county roads and projects outside a named town. A familiar mailing city does not prove the truck is going to the town center, and a billing ZIP does not describe the job. Give the address where the unit will sit.

For a project-quote ZIP, confirm transport and availability with JOLT before reserving. The unit still has its published rent and reservation deposit, while the job address controls its minimum term and sales tax. Colorado and the Mountain West have fixed published delivery and pickup fees; elsewhere both legs are included in the written project quote.

For a quick review, use contact or call the yard. You can also start at rent to choose the unit before asking about the route. We separate known catalog lines from any quoted transportation line so your team can approve them without decoding a bundled number.

Reserve

Is pickup the same fee as delivery?

Yes, in Colorado and the Mountain West, rental pickup uses the same published per-unit fee as delivery, including the applicable class and pairing rules. Both legs are charged on the first invoice, not at the end of the rental. Elsewhere, pickup is part of the project quote.

After the minimum term, the rental runs month to month until you provide 15 days' written notice of pickup and we retrieve the unit. Notice starts the coordination; rent runs until the truck takes the unit, and notice does not make an inaccessible unit ready to load. Keep the route open, remove obstructions around the unit and have the site prepared for the truck's return.

Pickup is based on the unit's location. If a unit must move to another spot on the same site during the rental, JOLT can perform an on-site relocation for $495 per move. Call first so we can check the route and place the move on the schedule. Do not move the container yourself.

A relocation is not pickup. It is a separate truck service while the rental remains active. Likewise, moving to a different job address is not automatically an on-site relocation; the new address can change the route, zone and site review. Put the requested move in writing and let us classify it before work begins.

When the rental is done, follow the pickup process in how it works and the controlling terms in section 16 of the Rental Agreement. If a trip fails because access is blocked or the unit is not ready, section 5 controls the charge.

Which zone is a Denver contractor building in the mountains in?

The mountain job address sets the zone, even when the contractor, architect and billing department are all in Denver. A Denver project manager sending a unit to a Vail job uses Zone B, so the delivery leg is Zone B — $625 per unit each way (pickup published). The Denver office address does not turn that Vail placement into Zone E.

The reverse is also true. A mountain contractor placing a unit at a Denver job uses Zone E. The identity of the renter does not change the truck's route. Use the address where the driver will unload and where the unit will remain.

This rule keeps estimates consistent across multi-project accounts. A superintendent can price a Vail phase, a Keystone phase and a Golden phase from the same published table. Each job gets its own zone and each unit gets one invoice. There is no blended fleetwide delivery rate based on the main office.

If the job sits near a town boundary or the postal city does not describe the final approach, submit the exact address rather than choosing the zone yourself. The reservation flow checks the ZIP first, and we review the destination before dispatch. For an unlisted location, we write the quote instead of guessing.
