The maximum semi-trailer length in the US was 45 feet for a while, before it went to 48 and then 53 feet. In fact, several of them can be seen on Matt Hannes's web site under the domestic container heading.
But go to Matt Hannes' basic 45 foot sea container web page, http://www.matts-place.com/intermodal/part1/45footdryvans.htm . Click on some of those containers and see how many have names like the names on our Des Plaines 48 & 53 foot containers, Conrail, BNA, CN, SP, J B Hunt, CSX, &c. If the link doesn't work, just go to http://www.matts-place.com/ Scroll, read, & click as appropriate. And count how many have foreign names like "K" Line (Japan), Cosco (China Ocean Shipping Company), Maersk (Denmark), Hanjin (So Korea), Hyundai (So Korea), Yang Ming (Taiwan) et j'en passe. They're just about all the latter. Tom Hawley - Lansing Michigan ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
