All those big metal boxes you see on the backs of trucks are shipping containers which can be loaded and unloaded at ports. Now there are millions of these being shipped each day and your goods normally travel in these, but that also means that you have to have a container and a ship going in the right direction and going straight to the destination to get there quickly.
