Step-by-step explanation:
In theory, 12000/14=857.143 containers. Take a truck trailer with a bed 51′ x 8.5′. It will hold one 40′ x 8′ container

Answer:
857.143 containers
Step-by-step explanation:
In theory, 12000/14=857.143 containers.
Take a truck trailer with a bed 51′ x 8.5′. It will hold one 40′ x 8′ container.
You would need to pile 857 of them to a height of about 6856 feet.
Do not route the load through underpasses or near airports.
In any question of limits on weight and measurement, you need to consider the dimensions of the container vs the dimensions of the building or vehicle the containers must fit into. Length and width of container vs that of vehicle determine how many fit on one floor. Height of container limits number that can fit under ceilings, rooftops and highway underpasses.
At the practical level, a WW2-era C2 cargo ship, 459 feet long x 63 feet wide x 40 feet deep could carry about 10,000 tons of cargo. That shows that a truck carrying 12,000 tonnes would exist better on Quora than on the highway.
