I'd say for a domain to be valuable an average person within the industry should be able to make money via the keywords for e.g two dollar store would be worth more in my opinion because more people can make money with it but road logistics... I don't know unless the person was looking for a job
i was thinking road, rail, sea logistics as in the transport industry ... as in http://www.talc.com.au/
Transport logistics is one of the largest industries on the planet.

In domains a miss is a good as a mile. "Shipping containers" is a consumer term, the usage is simple,
http://www.portcontainerservices.com.au/
"buy a shipping container"
"hire a shipping container".
The domain is 100% "right". The product is clear, it is a simple and people are likely to buy it online or at minimum do research online and then make a phone call. It also something you can't duck down the street for, for someone who want to buy one shipping container (ie someone who isn't a major transport company) the only other likely option apart from the internet to find a supplier is likely the yellow pages.
So I'd say this is something of a niche when it comes to people buying a shipping container or modifying one (and probably a big niche too).
Something like roadlogistics.com sounds "impressive" but it is a corporate term as opposed to something someone would search for, it is the sort of term that would be used in an annual report to tart up something simple, as opposed to being customer centric. Wouldn't renew these names personally.

I believe they're good domains for a corporation so if you can get a corp interested than you're all good otherwise... maybe not so much
I have Logistics Companies Courier Companies Transport Companies ...etc ect etc. I love the transport niche however I wouldnt have paid 10 k

Any idea what the shipping container sales and rental market is worth in Australia? Seems to be massive?

I think it would be very large but I suspect most of it would be from large shipping companies buying off manufacturers directly. Having said that the ones I look up, eg Maersk, manufacture themselves.
I think anyone who buys containers in bulk is going to know all the manufacturers, so the real market for a domain like this is the people who want one or two containers in my view. It is a subset of that market.
They are a few K to buy - you have to be careful if you are getting containers in say from China - I know of a few places in sydney where the containers have to be parked in ....as in the middle of the night the truck drivers can go an pick up the empties ...the importer/exporter is liable for the container cost back to the shipping line..... few cases I know of now
