Today we’d like to introduce you to Casey Ainsworth.
Hi Casey, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
We are going to have to let you go…..the words that nobody wants to hear. Going from a top salesperson at a very large respectable company to wondering what your next step is.
That’s when I made the decision that I wanted to work for myself. I took all of the money that I had saved up and invested it into starting my journey as an entrepreneur. Since then I started have started and owned several businesses. I still have several businesses active earning revenue today.
I own a freight brokerage, a shipping container sales and rental company, a trucking company, I own a few rental homes, and a wedding venue.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road to building a successful business is anything but smooth. You should actually plan for problems because they are inevitable.
The larger you grow your life the more problems you are going to have. There is not a single day that goes by that I don’t have to solve a major problem. Some of these decisions can be decisions that cost 10’s of thousands of dollars in profit or loss.
Your overall success and ability scale a business is directly linked to your risk appetite and your apply to perform under pressure.

Founded in 2016 as a logistics company, we’ve evolved into a nationwide specialist in container sales and distribution, serving Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and several other states including Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, and more. We’re committed to delivering high-quality, reliable containers with a focus on customer trust and long-term relationships.
What we do.
We acquire, inspect, grade, store, and deliver used shipping containers sourced from global freight routes. These containers, typically released after transporting goods on massive ships, are carefully managed through our network of depots. We handle everything from initial inspection to final delivery, ensuring containers are wind- and watertight, secure, and ready for use. Our services extend to sales, customized delivery, and setup, and rentals, making it easy for customers to get containers right to their property without hassle.
What We Specialize In / What We’re Known For
We specialize in used shipping container sales and rentals, with a strong emphasis on efficient inventory management, high-quality grading, and customized solutions. We’re known for our expertise in transforming these durable containers into versatile storage options, as well as innovative applications like living spaces, offices, or pop-up shops. Our containers come in standard sizes like 20-foot and 40-foot (including high-cube options), and we’re recognized for our ability to customize units to fit specific needs—whether that’s adding doors, windows, insulation, or other modifications. Customers in industries like construction, landscaping, retail, and residential storage rely on us for secure, weatherproof solutions.

Our efficient depot operations—stacking containers up to seven high for cost savings and security—keep prices competitive without compromising safety or accessibility. We provide hassle-free, direct-to-site delivery, and we don’t require customers to visit depots (which are busy and multi-client environments).

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Social media can be a huge distraction or a great tool for success. Your algorithm will take you wherever you put your focus, so if you focus on success and networking you can build that and make some lifechanging connections, or if you focus on the distraction and endlessly scrolling you can get lost.
Also try to connect with successful people that have built exactly what you are trying to build ask them to meet up and share their story. Try to offer them some value and make the connection it can go really far.
