The rectangular box is the weakest. The floor and walls are susceptible to dents. Braces are required to add strength. But, they have the advantage of maximum size load.

For offroad trucks, there is no maximum width, a road truck can’t be wider than 102 inches. So they can build a huge triangle box which is very strong and still holds a lot of material.
