Abstract
A sidewall of a trailer is formed from at least two composite panels joined together by a novel joining configuration. Each panel is formed from inner and outer thin metal skins and a plastic core sandwiched between the skins. A logistics plate and overlapping outer skins of the panels are used to join the panels together and are secured thereto by rivets.
