I doubt if empty containers operate on a FIFO plan.  An empty container is an empty container, as long as it's one that you own. 

They may if they are subjected to a demurrage system that charges for days held based on individual container numbers. 

I believe that in LA/LB, certain shipping lines own/lease certain terminals.  I'm not sure if demurrage would take effect then, since it's on their property.

If they are on their owners property it fully highlights the mismanagement of the owners overall operation.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
