A louvered sidewall cargo container assembly for reducing crosswind exposure includes a cargo container, which is substantially cuboid shaped and comprises a pair of sidewalls, a front, a back, a bottom, and a roof. Each sidewall comprises a plurality of louvers. An actuator is engaged to the cargo container and is operationally engaged to each of the plurality of louvers. The actuator is positioned to selectively motivate each of the louvers between a first position a second position. In the first position, the louver is substantially perpendicular to the bottom and each of the plurality of louvers is in a closed configuration. In the second position, the louver is transverse or parallel to the bottom, extends into the cargo container, and each of the pluralities of louvers is in an open configuration. In the open configuration, the pluralities of louvers allow passage of a crosswind through the cargo container.
