John Varley depicts such container-hitching (for in-system travel, but similar duration) in his wonderful novel _The Golden Globe_.

I could see folks hitching rides inside of these containers - and folks selling "berths" cheaper then low berth. 

Heck freeze yourself and go as cargo!

Fast long-haul shipping would be handled by modular freighters. The arriving ship would decouple from its freight and head off for refueling and maintenance. Meanwhile, a jump-ready modular freighter would couple with the freight and jump out. You could easily get the turnaround time to a couple of hours, most of that being taken up with moving the freighters around, docking, and doing safety checks to make sure the load is coupled properly before jumping.

really really BIG long-haul freighters. <http://dbdev2.pharmacy.arizona.edu/Majesta.html>
