A container assembly for a container vehicle includes an elongate container with a bulkhead mounted internally within the container. The bulkhead comprises a non-flanged segment of a cylinder, and it includes a horizontally-oriented stiffening rib. A method for assembling such a container includes the steps of providing a curved bottom component, a curved top component and a pair of curved side components for the container. Each of the side components includes an upper edge and a lower edge, and the bottom component, top component and side components are sized, curved and arranged so that the lower edges of the side components may be attached to the bottom component and the upper edges of the side components may be attached to the top component to form an enclosure. The bottom component, top component and side components are assembled to form an enclosure, and a pair of end caps are provided for the enclosure. A sheet is provided for fabrication of a bulkhead, and a bulkhead blank is cut from the sheet. A bulkhead is formed from the bulkhead blank, which bulkhead comprises a non-flanged segment of a cylinder. A stiffening rib is formed in the bulkhead, and the bulkhead is attached inside the enclosure so that the stiffening rib is horizontally oriented. Then the end caps are attached to each end of the enclosure to form a container.
