Side loader or trailer
A shipping company emailed me to confirm the address of delivery and also asked me "Mode: trailer or side loader " . What is trailer or side loader? Do they make any difference for delivery? Thanx

I admit I had to look that up. It looks like "side loader" is a shipping container without wheels that can be loaded onto various transportation such as train (rails), truck (highways), or ship (ocean). My understanding of a "trailer" is a wheeled container that hitches to the back of a semi-truck and is hauled along the highway. So maybe the difference is cost? The containers appear to be of similar size and construction.
Good luck!
