Description:  We finally got the seal off and got the door opened. Check out the bracing necessary for the long trip from China. This is truly a family business. Thats my dad with his hand on the trailer, my son with his hands on his head, and my nephew shading his eyes.

Container arriving
Title:  Container arriving
Description:  The extensive bracing has been removed and the work of unloading the container begins. You get 2 hours to unload it or you are asessed a charge of $85.00 per hour for however long you go over. As for whats in the container, my family has operated a business for over 40 years that has grown to where we can direct import some of our items. The business is Holiday Fireworks and yes, the container is full of fireworks!!!

Container arriving
Title:  Container arriving
Description:  Pictured is a container like we have all seen on double stack trains. Ever wondered what was in them? This container originated in China, arrived Long Beach CA and was railed, via Union Pacific, to New Orleans where it was taken off the railcar and moved over the highway to Dothan AL.
