Basically, the two standard sizes of shipping containers are 20ft (6.06m) and 40ft (12.2m): which has a width of 8ft (2.43m) and height of 8.5ft (2.59m).

A spot quote for a freight refers to a rate quote for each individual Line haul. Thus, this rate is usually calculated using current market parameters without a contract.
