BRC Housing Driver Ridealong Support

 

The BRC Housing Team provides comprehensive, full-service support for Burning Man Trailers (BMTs), handling everything from movement and placement to utility plug-in. We are dedicated to ensuring that every BMT occupant enjoys a seamless, stress-free transition into their BRC home, allowing them to focus on their assigned missions with efficiency and peace of mind. With years of deep experience, our skilled team manages the complexities of BMT life in BRC—including power, services, and site logistics—and we are experts at troubleshooting any issues that arise during transit. At BRC Housing, we go beyond mere delivery; we are committed to making sure every occupant feels comfortable, secure, and ready for their BRC experience from the moment they arrive.

During Burning Man, we will provide you space in our staff camp to pitch a tent or park a trailer, three meals a day from our wonderful commissary, and daily showers. Before and after Burning Man, we will provide housing or space for you to park a trailer and power as well as 3 meals a day from the NVO Kitchen. You will also receive a staff credential/ticket to Burning Man as a thank you for your time and energy!
