Abstract
A cargo container having joining members to join plural panels and a top rail assembly connecting the side panels to the roof of the container. In one embodiment the joining member defines a longitudinally elongated hollow core, which optionally is filled with structural foam. In another embodiment, the joining member receives a logistic insert having logistic slots. The top rail assembly has a longitudinally extended mounting flange for mounting the side panels. By angling the top rail, the container achieves a characteristic wedge-shaped side profile, while still using uniformly height dimensioned side panels.
