The storage container includes a seamless body defining an internal space for storing cargo and may define one or more access openings for a plurality of access doors. The seamless body is made of a substantially rigid material, such as plastic, and may be roto-molded to form the seamless body. The seamless body may further include an engagement panel configured for a mating connection with a corresponding receiving recess defined in the trailer body.
