Container 213120 was manufactured by Pines, in May 1998. J B Hunt also had other yellow door containers along with these 200 series ones. They had some 48 foot containers that were in the 600, and 700 series. There were just over 8,900 of these with just over 5,200 in the 600 series, and 3,700 in the 700 series. These 48 foot containers were retired, when J B Hunt decided to go with an all 53 foot container fleet. In November 2001, the first of the Wabash National containers were purchased. This was the end for the 600 and 700 series containers, as they were retired in 2001 and 2002, with more and more of the Wabash containers being added. The Wabash National containers were built between November 2001, and March 2006. There are around 11,500 of these, and they are in the number series from 215500-224569. Then they pick up at 224600 and go to 227039. The gap in the containers from 224570-224599 were pretty much not used, except for three containers that I know of. These containers are 224576 and 224577, which were manufactured by Jindo, in March 2005. For some reason, these two containers have the J B Hunt logo all the way in the back, where the number usually is. The other container is 224580 which was manufactured by Hyundai, in October 2005. The rest of the numbers in this small group, were never used.
