[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 1098059, member: 5529"] They are the tan containers from China number ,here, 60XXXX. The containers aren't the problem. It's been the chassis. There's many prefix's I've seen. The two that dropped their box were on black chassis. I've found and tagged both black and orange chassis. The majority were black ones so far. Irregardless of color make sure those retainers are correct and straight, parallel to the guide bar in front. In the rear make sure they lock the pin handle in the correct place and in doing so lock the pin in the correct 90* turned position, NOT on an angle that only allows the corners of the pin to lock the box in place. It may look like its locking the container down but with the reduced amount of surface area of the pin holding the container down it's no where near as strong. 70k lbs of container is a lot of weight to be held in place by just two corners.
