Publisher Description

Abstract In the past 50 years, trailer-truck-sized cargo containers have transformed surface freight transportation worldwide. Containers have greatly reduced the cost and time required to pack and move cargoes, have made intermodalism possible, and have supported the growth of new patterns of global production and distribution. This article outlines how the impact of this recent innovation fits into the long history of commerce and transportation from the 18th century to the present.
