[quote user="MP173"]  Dave...I never heard there is a difference between container heights and trailer heights.  Not saying that I disagree with you, I have never heard it and I have been around trailers for years.  Something to check into. [/quote] The standard height of a trailer is 13'6" from ground to top.  Some of the newer high capacity trailers use smaller diameter wheels tridems that allow the box's platform level to be lower, thus more cubic capacity (the box itself can be 10'6" in height if I remember correctly), while keeping to the 13'6" road height standard.  I think they utilize air suspension to allow the platform height to match dock height. A 53' container + chassis also will have more tare weight than a 53' dry van.
