Have you ever found yourself unexpectedly detouring on a road trip? Well, imagine if that happened while tracking your much-anticipated delivery!

Oftentimes, shipping containers end up in the most bizarre places. The confusion is usually a result of a miscommunication or mere human error. Regardless of the cause, it’s always a laugh riot the way these heavyweight boxes end up in unexpected spots.
Even inanimate objects seem to crave a bit of sight-seeing. Who wouldn't want to trade a boring trip for a thrilling detour? Those longing for a comedic escape will love hearing about these wandering containers!
