Who Yard & Trailer Storage Is For

Our yard and trailer storage solutions are a strong fit if you:

Have more trailers or containers than yard space at your own facilities.
Want to stage equipment or loaded trailers closer to customers, job sites, or warehouses.
Need short-term parking during peaks, projects, or schedule changes.
Operate drop-and-hook or relay models and need reliable drop locations.
Are looking for secure, managed yard space instead of ad-hoc parking.

Typical users include:

Carriers and dedicated fleets
3PLs and brokers
Retail, CPG, and ecommerce shippers
Construction and industrial suppliers
Importers using containers as temporary storage

If you’re constantly “out of room” in your own yard, this is a simple way to relieve pressure.

How Our Yard & Trailer Storage Works

Managed Yard Space at Our Otay Mesa Facility

We provide yard space at our San Diego facility adjacent to our warehouse at 7401 Bristow Court in Otay Mesa.

  • Defined drop zones and parking areas for trailers and containers.
  • Check-in and check-out processes for your drivers and dispatch.

Our San Diego yard sits near the I-5 and I-805 interchange and minutes from the Otay Mesa border crossing, giving carriers and drayage operators fast access to the yard without routing through congested metro corridors.

We align the yard setup with how your drivers and dispatch operate.

Short-Term, Long-Term, and Project-Based Parking

We support multiple use cases from our San Diego trailer storage yard:

  • Short-term. Day, week, or month-level needs to cover peaks, schedule gaps, or border crossing delays.
  • Longer-term. Ongoing trailer or container parking for base operations in the San Diego market.
  • Project-based. Specific jobs, rollouts, or cross-border programs that require temporary staging near our San Diego facility.

You do not have to treat every need like a permanent commitment.

Integration with Johnson Warehousing & Transport in San Diego

Because our San Diego trailer storage yard is adjacent to our Otay Mesa warehouse, we can move trailers directly to our docks for unloading, transloading, or cross-docking. For import programs, containers staged in our yard can be pulled into the warehouse for devanning and put-away on a scheduled basis. We also coordinate with our San Diego drayage operation for container moves between the port, the border crossing, and our facility.

This makes the yard more than just a parking lot. It becomes part of your San Diego operating network.

Benefits of Yard & Trailer Storage with Johnson

Border-Adjacent Staging in Otay Mesa

Our San Diego yard sits in the Otay Mesa industrial corridor, one of the highest-volume commercial border crossings in the country. Carriers and importers use this positioning to stage trailers and containers near the crossing, reducing dwell time and keeping freight moving on schedule.

Free Up Your Own Facilities

Move parked trailers and containers off your San Diego lots so your docks, driveways, and yards stay clear and safer to operate.

Stage Equipment Closer to Key Corridors

Position trailers and containers near the I-5 and I-805 corridors and the Otay Mesa border crossing to reduce deadhead and dwell in the San Diego market.

Support Drop-and-Hook and Relay Models

Use our San Diego yard as an exchange point so drivers can drop, hook, and keep moving along the I-5 corridor between San Diego, Los Angeles, and the Inland Empire.
