A cargo container having joining members to join plural panels and a top rail assembly connecting the side panels to the roof of the container. In one embodiment the joining member defines a longitudinally elongated hollow core, which optionally is filled with structural foam. In another embodiment, the joining member receives a logistic insert having logistic slots. The top rail assembly has a longitudinally extended mounting flange for mounting the side panels. By angling the top rail, the container achieves a characteristic wedge-shaped side profile, while still using uniformly height dimensioned side panels.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A longitudinally elongated joining member for joining adjacent generally planar panels in a cargo container, the cargo container having a plurality of walls defining an interior area, at least one of the walls being a panel wall including at least two spaced apart panels

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A longitudinally elongated joining member for joining adjacent generally planar panels in a cargo container, the cargo container having a plurality of walls defining an interior area, at least one of the walls being a panel wall including at least two spaced apart panels with the panels having a gap therebetween and the joining member together forming a generally smooth interior wall, the joining member comprising:a longitudinally elongated center section member defining an interior cavity, the center section including a first lateral side, a second lateral side, and a longitudinally elongated first wall, the first wall having:a first side facing the interior cavity; anda substantially planar second side opposite the first side, at least a portion of the substantially planar second side extending into and substantially filling said gap and thus forming a portion of one of the panel walls defining the generally smooth interior wall of the container;a first longitudinally elongated flange member laterally extending from the first lateral side of the center section; anda second longitudinally elongated flange member laterally extending from the second lateral side of the center section,said center section extending into and substantially filling said gap, thus forming said generally smooth interior wall.
