    I throw 5 straps on a empty 20.
    That sucker won't budge.
    An the small ones I usually pick up are all connected at the bottom so I just slap chains on the ends an roll out.

    Some people refer to them as connex boxes. Some refer to them as sea containers. They are all the same though.

    Usually. Military conned boxes are smaller sometimes like 8 foot square, 20 and 40 are usually referred to as containers

    I like the clips. But the rest can be irritating. Until you realize a forklift driver just can't hurt you when he bumps your rail.
