I'm curious about the trailers that carry cargo containers.

-how are containers attached to the trailer? Do they ever come off?
-does the trailer flex?
-does it drive any different than a standard box trailer?
-anything interesting with these?

I don't know about coming off of the trailers but it is amazing how many come off of ships at sea. A container ship got caught in a nasty storm in the Gulf of Alaska some years ago and lost some containers. That whole summer plastic bathtub toys were washing up all over the beaches of the gulf and Prince William Sound. It was an interesting study in tidal currents as these toys ended up at places hundreds of miles form where the container came of the ship.
