The wall joint of the present invention is configured to reduce or eliminate protrusions into the interior of the trailer or container, but doe s not require coining or stamping of the edges of consecutive sidewall panels. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the wall joint includes two consecutive sidewall panels, each bent to form a main plateau, a spliced plateau and a jogged portion serving as a transition therebetween, with the thickness of the sidewall panel most preferably remaining substantially constant throughout. When two consecutive sidewall panels are positioned next to each other, the spliced plateaus of the two consecutive sidewall panels abut each other and lie in a first plane, while the main plateaus of the two panels preferab ly lie in another parallel plane. Thus, a region recessed from the main plateaus an d surrounding the seam between the two panels is created.
