A vehicle for transporting containers, the vehicle comprising:

• a base comprising:
• a platform;
• a plurality of wheels;
• and
• a motor for driving one or more of the plurality of wheels;
• a rack mounted to the platform, the rack comprising at least one rail, the at least one rail comprising a channel defined therein and comprising an end coupling for linking the at least one rail with an external rail;
• at least one container configured to connect with the at least one rail, the at least one container comprising a connection assembly, at least a portion of the connection assembly being moveably disposed in the channel;
• and
• a processing system comprising one or more processors configured to:
• receive a request to link the at least one rail with the external rail;
• drive the motor to align the end coupling with the external rail;
• and
• based on determining that the end coupling is aligned with the external rail, drive the motor to link the end coupling with the external rail such that the at least one container is moveable, along the channel, from the at least one rail to the external rail.
