Are you shipping on a regular basis? DSi (http://www.dsi-tms.com) is a company worth a look. They're a freight shipping, LTL broker, 3PL service provider and great to work with. Not sure if they supply containers per se, but I'm guessing they would be very helpful in finding some good resources for you.

These folks use some pretty sophisticated in-house technology for bidding/routing, load optimization and shipment planning as well as their own system for spot market freight quotes -- and quite often can save clients in the neighborhood of 20% on shipping costs. Rob Snowdale is the Ceo - and in addition to being very sharp with numbers and passionate about saving $'s for his clients he's just great guy to work with/honest business person.
