Most of these are likely a conex on a flatbed, how they're shipped from overseas, and easy to transfer to a semi. Two doors on the end, each with two handles that rotate the bar up/down to close it, like a rotating safe lock. One door overlaps, and then a metal flap with a hole slides over the closed handles. (Probably just one handle, really.) Then a small padlock secures the whole thing.

So, easy enough to break into within 20 seconds if you have a decent bolt cutter, or even just a solid hammer.
