C-5 Galaxy has ramps. Why the plywood? Is a Kenworth so different from a HEMTT or M-1070? Will those even fit in the first place?

A gentler slope, perhaps, so that the top of the trailer doesn't scrape the plane.

That, and the fifth-wheel has a limited breakover angle.

Why would they do this instead of containers?

If it was just the trailer in there, tare on a trailer is less than a container the same length. No real good way to get a container out of their if it was floor-loaded, either.

Also, that trailer has side doors. Wherever its going might need those. No containers like that are in service that I know of.

im sure they're quite rare to be seen actually moving but I've seen intermodal gensets and security offices with side doors
