Mike Berka General This photo is very good, and it tells a story about the bottom container. The top container 262356 is a CIMC, that was built in December 2010. The bottom 240127 is a Jindo, that was built in July 2007. This 240127 container has recently had the Intermodal lettering applied to it. (as you can see) When this container was brand new, the Intermodal lettering wasn't around quite yet. This Intermodal lettering was first Introduced (on the containers) in August 2010. At first, this lettering was only applied to the brand new containers, like how it is on the 262356. Then, earlier this year, J B Hunt started to apply it to the "older" steel China containers too, as you can plainly see with the 240127. The Intermodal lettering was first introduced on some of the J B Hunt trailers in the spring of 2010. The lettering first came out in red, and then a short while later, it was switched to green. 8/7/2011 11:39:04 PM
