I realize that the topic of container size has been beaten to within an inch of
its life, but a wee little question popped[1] into my mind.
Apparently, containers are 8' wide and so are tractor trailers. Now someone
pointed out that containers are 8'6" high, but when you drive by a tractor
trailer, many of the trailers have 110" door to nose, or something like that,
printed on the side. Are trailers taller than containers? By trailer I mean the
ones that are fixed to their wheels.
Thanks,
Chris
