2024 TEXAS BURNING MAN COMMUNITY TRUCK

General Info

ALL BINS SHOULD BE PACKED FULLY. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds will be stacked on top of your bins. Packing your bins tight and full will help protect them. The Texas Community Truck is not responsible for any damage to your property.

All items must be boxed well, this includes bikes and strangely shaped items. NO metal, wood, etc. should be sticking out of anything. Things will be packed on top of or next to others and we are unable to do so unless items are boxed properly, think TETRIS. Any item not packed properly will not be allowed on the truck and no refund will be provided. PVC, conduit, wood, etc. MUST be taped or ratchet strapped together securely so they will not fall out of the bundle, roll away, etc.

​

Bins will NOT be provided. All items must be packed and properly labeled before your load in time. Packing and labeling is YOUR responsibility. We are asking all burners to use the 27 Gal. Tough Storage Tote in Black with Yellow Lid. Emphasis on the diamond pattern lid!  No bins with wheels PLEASE.

​

Try and avoid bins that are significantly bigger (9 cu. ft. and up) because unless you’re packing pillows, those bins are going to break some backs.

 

ALL BINS/TOTES MUST BE ZIP-TIED CLOSED.  All items you are transporting must be labeled with our transport label (see the section on Labeling below)

 

If you have a very large or strangely shaped item, you must let us know asap. Email us at admin@txbmtruck.org

​

LABELING 

LABEL EVERYTHING.

1. Download, complete, and print/copy the TRANSPORT LABEL which will be emailed to you after payment. You will want to make copies of the label and tape on every side of the item(s) you are shipping. 

2. IF YOU NEED A REPRESENTATIVE TO DROP-OFF OR PICK-UP YOUR STUFF FOR YOU....

If you are designating someone else to pick up or drop off your gear in Texas or on the playa, you have one extra step. Complete the Designee Authorization form which will be emailed to you after payment.  Still ensure all of your items have the transport label taped to every side of your item and make sure your designee has a copy of your full Designee Authorization form with them any time they need to pick up/ drop off your gear. BRING EXTRA LABELS WITH YOU TO THE PLAYA. Sometimes our boxes/gear lose our labels and your gear will need to be labeled in order to reload it onto the truck for exodus to Texas.

​

SIGN THE WAIVER

SIGN THE WAIVER AND PRINT (sent to you after payment). Have this on-hand at load-in. This will help community truck volunteers to check you in faster. A form must be completed and signed by each person utilizing the community truck. If you are using a designee to pick up/drop off your gear, they must have your signed form on-hand. 

​

NO PROHIBITED ITEMS

See prohibited items section below. Read it then re-read it. 

​

Bikes

All bicycles must be put in boxes. Unboxed bikes won't be allowed on the truck unless it is a tricycle.

IF YOU ARE BRINGING AN E-BIKE, the bike itself is allowed on the truck, but the battery must be removed and shipped via other means (like from other vehicles driving out or standard UPS).

​

Batteries

NO LITHIUM BATTERIES are allowed on the truck this year. They must be shipped via other means (like from other vehicles driving out or standard UPS).

​

Generators

They must be brand new and in the box or otherwise COMPLETELY DRY to and from the event. All oil and gas must be completely emptied- we will check! If our volunteers have to do this for you, you could be subject to a $50 fine or worse, we won't be able to transport it on the truck.
