This morning while driving to work I had a first-time-for-me sighting. I passed a UPS tractor-trailer where the trailer was a flat-bed that held four large cargo containers of the sort that slide into planes for transport. I was especially surprised to see at least one portion of each container was transparent and I could see boxes that were stacked in them as I drove past.
It honestly never occurred to me before that such containers would be used anywhere but airports, but after doing a little thinking about it, I realized it must be most efficient to move these containers from the plane straight on to a flat-bed trailer when the distribution center that will transport all of the boxes in the containers to their final destination is not near an airport that UPS services.
As I saw this on northbound Interstate 15, I'd imagine the containers were most likely on the way to UPS distribution centers in Escondido and maybe other north San Diego County cities.
