I'm guessing mostly in Canada using short wheelbase daycab tractors... don't know many of the details myself yet, but this could be a major development if it goes through.

Canadian Tire is planning to roll out some new 60 ft. containers in the New Year... they say they've already completed the feasibility studies. Maybe this will be the next major development in containerization.
