The empty containers aren’t just taking up space: They’re also preventing truckers from freeing up their chassis, a piece of equipment necessary to wheel loads of cargo onto modular trailers for delivery.

The Los Angeles and Long Beach ports are currently the source of a massive ship backlog that’s crippling the nation’s supply chain, driving up prices and leaving crews queuing for weeks waiting to unload cargo.

Large steel and aluminium container are widely used for cargo transport. These are huge 10- to 40-foot units that offer ample space to hold items for storage or transport. Moving vans, delivery trucks, and shipping units all use large shipping container that are often designed for modular use.

Shipping containers are excellent for moving large quantity of goods. Of the standard sizes that shipping containers come in 20-foot container are the most widely used for transport.
