Mike Berka	General	This is a very good photo. The reason why, is because look at the JBHU and the numbers on the very front of these containers. You can't tell anymore ( from a distance ) which company built which container, until you take a close look at the plate, on the container itself. The top container was manufactured by CIMC. Starting last year, I think in the summer, CIMC started putting the JBHU and container number all on one line , if you will, just like you see here. Before, the JBHU used to be on top of the number which was an easy CIMC spotting feature. The bottom container was manufactured by Singamas, and they have always pretty much had the JBHU and container number all on one line. Another interesting thing, is you can never tell when these containers were built, unless you look at the plate. These containers are not released in perfect number and date order. You would think the 268 was built before the 270 series container, but it isn't like that. Both of these containers were built	3/30/2012 12:56:14 PM

Mike Berka	General	did this get cut off? I was saying that both containers were built last year. The 268162 was built in September, and the 270538 was built in August.	3/30/2012 1:01:06 PM
