    Mainly the doors can be a pain in the ### to shut. Other than that no worse than any other trailer. One thing to watch for is the conatiner sits on a chasis system so you have to make sure the container is secured to the chasis.

    I would say at the .55-.58 and that type of mileage as a new driver that's good money.

    As most know though, what they say and what really happens a lot of times tends to be a different story.

    Btw thanks for your service. Do you have a TWIC card? If doing containers will be going in and out a lot of ports. I believe some might require them.
