Cost of unloading a container
It’s impossible to give a broad estimate of the total cost of unloading. This is because various factors might influence the final price of the process. However, unloading a single 40-foot container with two SKUs would cost $130. But, if you expand the number of SKUs beyond 70, which is far more time-consuming and challenging to labor on, the price per container would rise by $150 to $280 per container.
When unloading significant commodities, the labor takes longer, and the freight unloaders must occasionally work in groups to carry the cases and set them on a pallet. Also, if the lumpers are required to move pallets using a forklift a premium of at least $30-$40 per container is charged. Therefore, unloading a truck becomes more complex, and the cost of lumping services rises.
What are lumper or freight unloading services?
Businesses are always searching for an efficient and cost-effective 3rd party freight unloading service. A lumper service is when the shipper or receiver hires third-party workers to assist in loading or unloading the freight from the trailer.
Lumper services are beneficial for everyone involved in the supply chain. It allows drivers to rest and leave more quickly. Lumper also helps the shipper and recipient reduce loading times and improve customer relations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average time it takes to unload a container?
It varies based on the type of goods we are unloading. If you ask us to unload a container of palletized items, we can do so much faster than if you ask us to unload a 40-foot high cube container with 2,500 cartons.
What sizes of containers do you work with?
Almost all sizes of containers are available, but we mostly unload containers of 20 ft. and 40 ft.
When the unloading is completed, do you take away the empty container, or do I get to keep it?
After our staff has unloaded the container, the driver will inspect it to ensure it is clean—that is, there is no debris inside—before closing the doors and transporting the empty container away.
Is unloading a container difficult?
Unloading a shipping container is simple if you have the required room, labor, and a few other essential pieces of equipment.
What documents do I need to give to help with the unloading?
If you’re a business customer your supplier will typically provide you with a commercial invoice and packing list. If you’re a private customer, your removal business should have provided you with a packing list or inventory. Those documents must be sent to us.
