Well, well, well, well, well! Your info is priceless because it reinforces my own personal theory about what will emerge into the open pretty soon.

I said in an earlier post today that I thought that the next event of ground-shaking consequence would be the PR about shipping of the metal, partially assembled machine to Jacksonville.

So, lets look at your quote. You said this:

60 foot trailers are rarely used unless absolutely necessary (long loads of pipe or assembled construction materials) There is an up charge for using long trailers. The typical trailer is only 48 feet long.

The containers pictured appear to be 3'x5'x4' and they are an oddball PITA container because they need to be pin wheeled which means you have to alternate wide then narrow when loading them. They are difficult to stack more than 2 high on the trailer. These issues are not a problem though because they are typically used to transport metal parts and that is the reason that it is not a big deal to waste so much space because when you load metal parts in them it only takes 20 of these containers to reach max weight limits.

You then argued about the economics of using that size and shape to ship plastic, the idea being that the costs are out of whack.

I see no reason not to assume that what will go into odd size containers that are typically used to ship metal parts is....

Wait for it....

Wait for it....

Metal parts, such as those that go into a machine being shipped to Jacksonville.

Thats my thought anyway.
