The Workhorse of Global Trade: The Freightliner Container Truck with RWB Livery

In the intricate ballet of global logistics, few vehicles are as immediately recognizable or as fundamentally critical as the container truck, and Freightliner, as North America's leading heavy-duty truck manufacturer, builds some of the most capable machines for this demanding role.

Often referred to in the industry as a "chassis cab" or "container chassis," a Freightliner container truck is not a standard semi-truck pulling a dry van trailer. Instead, it is a specialized, ruggedized tractor—most commonly based on the iconic Freightliner Cascadia or Columbia models—specifically designed and equipped to securely carry and transport standard 20-foot, 40-foot, or 53-foot intermodal shipping containers. Its defining feature is a reinforced, low-profile steel frame (the chassis) with twist locks and securing hardware permanently mounted, allowing a container to be driven onto, locked down, and hauled with minimal handling.
