全球供应链的操作使用内和跨大洲几十万货柜车运输有价值的包和物品。
Global supply chain operations use hundreds of thousands of container trucks to transport valuable packages and items within and across continents.


在越南一侧,边境城市老街的上游,停靠着至少十几只红褐色船身的摩托艇。此时,许多货柜车在中午烈日的暴晒下,一辆接一辆地停靠在过境点前狭窄道路的两侧。
On the Vietnamese side, more than a dozen maroon-hulled motorboats were docked, upriver from the border city of Lao Cai. Just as many container trucks were parked bumper-to-bumper along a narrow road leading to the crossing, baking in the midday sun.

旧金山湾区东方食品商会(Oriental Food Association)发言人周晓滨(Taylor Chow)表示,全美各地的华裔社区都依赖于从亚洲进口到西海岸的食物。他说,他位于奥克兰的分销公司美国大华(American Tai Wah)几乎有10个装满酱油——他估计大约有10万瓶酱油——以及醋、淀粉、面条和罐头的大型货柜车滞留在沿海的货船里。
Taylor Chow, spokesman for the Oriental Food Association in the San Francisco Bay Area, said that Chinese communities across the country were dependent on food imported from Asia to the West Coast. His distribution company, American Tai Wah in Oakland, had almost 10 huge container cars full of soy sauce — about 100,000 bottles, he estimated — and vinegar, potato starch, noodles and canned foods sitting in freighters off the coast, he said.

六月初,德州南部的太陽已炙熱難當。位於沙漠地帶的艾爾帕索,因其特殊的「邊境性格」,交通脈動頻率驚人。海關前,巨型貨櫃車一部接一部排隊等待驗關;與華利士相連的高速公路上,小客車川流不息。
There's nowhere to hide from South Texas' scorching June sun. Although located in Texas' desert region, El Paso still sees a surprisingly high volume of traffic due to its proximity to the border. In front of customs, a line of huge container trucks awaits border inspection; meanwhile, an endless flow of cars speeds along the highway linking El Paso and Ciudad Juarez.

從零下50 度超低溫保存艙拖出的大目鮪、黃鰭鮪,包裹著一層美麗的白霜,遇到攝氏20度的室溫,發出一縷縷白煙。卸貨工人熟練地操著苦力叉,一勾把重達幾十公斤的大目鮪拖進冷凍貨櫃車,過磅後將輸往日本。
Deep-frozen bigeye and yellowfin tuna are taken out of –50°C freezers. Covered with frost, the fish grow shrouded in snowy mist when they hit the ambient temperature of +20°C. The unloading crew skillfully operates the forklifts, moving pallets of bigeye tuna weighing dozens of kilos into refrigerated containers. After weighing, they will be shipped to Japan.

一座橫跨四條街的工廠前,停了幾輛大型貨櫃車,像是等著出貨。
Outside a factory four blocks long, several large container lorries are parked, apparently waiting to depart.

Editor: There's very little evidence here that 貨櫃車 can mean "container car" (a type of railway car).
https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/container+car
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/container%20car

a) ABC's definition, which has a note saying it was based on FE (Far East) dictionary.
However, I have two editions of FE, and neither of them has an entry for 貨櫃車.

b) One of your example sentences uses the term "container car". That example (your third) strikes me as suspicious. The article states there are "container cars ... sitting in freighters off the coast". I expect it was actually *containers* sitting in the freighters, not container *cars*. Why would they load rail cars onto a ship as well as the containers?

So 貨櫃車 just seems to mean "container truck" -- pretty much a sum-of-its-parts term of marginal value.

The new def for 貨櫃 is based on LA etc.
