Appreciate the additional info on it. In my case though, if I were to build one, I would probably stay with a Roll Off type. I wouldn't mind dealing with the minor dis-advantages in comparison, but I can see how a big volume modern trucking outfit would want to utilize them. It is an interesting system.
