Containers are the work horse of the domestic and international long haul cargo business. Operated by any number of owners, containers carry virtually every product imaginable. Ranging in size from 20 feet to 53 feet, they can meet any shipping need.
In 1995 UPS made the first commercial purchase of 28 ft containers. This was in an effort to diversify their equipment fleet. The initiative positioned UPS as the first small-package carrier to move into domestic containerization. In order to economically carry the 28’ Container, the 56 ft Well Car was designed and constructed.
