Terry, I have seen guys do this in two ways; either knock the dollies and rear axle off and set on the ground or dig a big hole for the rear axles to drop down into.
The better semi trailers are the insulated reefers, they are stronger and have less chance of condensation
The oine issue you need to think about on seacans is that they will condensate on the inside- they are made of steel inside and out so many guys spray foam the roof on the inside ($$$). The other alternative is to use a roof top whirly bird to encourage ventilation.
I was just on Kijiji and saw a guy who has a bunch of 45 and 48ft van trailers in Toronto at $1200 each.
Another suggestion if you want smaller is to look at a truck wrecker for a 20 to 28ft van body off of a moving van/cargo truck.
