note that the back of the container is not touching the ground, it is sitting on what is left of a container chassis...
The black thing in the left side of the pic is a container loader, one means of loading/unloading containers, it's a lot like a really big forklift...
I have hauled countless containers in and out of ports all over America and have only had to get out of my truck one time...I think it was in Seattle, they had overhead cranes that were mobile, they rolled up over the trailer and lifted the container off and drove away with it...
As for the union guys thing...I had spent 6 hours in Port Newark (New Jersey), one problem after another, finally had it all sorted out and the loader was bringing my container up the aisle towards me, when he was just about 500 yards away, he set it down on the ground, turned around and drove away...it was 5 o'clock...quittin' time...what an asshole...
