A transportation system is adapted for transporting and removing roll on/roll off containers (16) from a trailer (12) surface. A tractor (10) having a fifth wheel (14) is used to tow the trailer. The tractor carries a supplemental platform (70), which is placed over the fifth wheel area to permit transfer of a container (16) from the trailer onto the platform of the towing tractor for transportation of the container to a delivery site. The container (16) and tractor (10) also include mating members (56 and 78) to permit raising one end of the container relative to the other to facilitate dumping of the contents from the container while it is carried on the supplemental platform on the tractor. A specific form of container, particularly suitable for use in the transportation system, is a double-walled, insulated container for carrying hot mix asphalt.
