Yard & Trailer Storage
Yard and trailer storage with Johnson Warehousing gives you secure, well-managed space to park trailers and containers near the markets that matter. Free up your own lots, reduce congestion at your facilities, and keep equipment staged close to Johnson warehouses and major highway corridors.
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.
