By the way, my exes are crazy.

I don't think these big MDF bundles could have been loaded into a shipping container. They needed to be loaded from the side by large forklifts. One on one side, then one in the other, probably to keep it from tipping. Probably not a common type of load overall though. Not a giant mill either, they probably aren't filling 20 trucks per day so it's not worth spending big bucks on something besides a good old forklift and flatbed trailers. It would drive me nuts as a driver waiting though.
