Who Trailer & Yard Storage in San Diego Is For

Trailer and yard storage at our San Diego facility is a strong fit if you:

Have more trailers or containers than yard space at your own San Diego area facilities.
Want to stage equipment or loaded trailers closer to the Otay Mesa border crossing, the Port of San Diego, or San Diego area customers and job sites.
Need short-term parking during peaks, projects, or schedule changes in the San Diego market.
Operate drop-and-hook or relay models along the I-5 corridor and need a reliable San Diego drop location.
Are looking for secure, managed yard space in San Diego instead of ad-hoc parking arrangements.

Typical users of our San Diego trailer storage include:

Cross-border carriers and drayage operators staging trailers and containers near the Otay Mesa port of entry.
Importers using containers as temporary buffer storage while clearing customs or waiting for warehouse receiving appointments.
Carriers and dedicated fleets running the I-5 corridor between San Diego, LA, and the Inland Empire who need a San Diego drop point.
3PLs and brokers needing overflow yard space in Southern California for client programs.

How Our San Diego Trailer & Yard 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.
