Fun fact: inside many of the trailers you see, it's just manually loaded and stacked, and manually unloaded, individual boxes. No pallets.

Not most. But many.

Another fun fact: US/NATO logistics is pallet-based. Russian is largely not.

Unloading shells on a hot day in a "bucket brigade" must be fun.
