What's a dry van?

Pretty much a suspended box on tires. Dry vans are not temperature controlled (reefers). Dry vans are made to haul loose / boxed / palletized items.

The most common trailer type in shipping dry product in America. These are especially great because of their versatile enclosures. Having e-tracks in the trailer walls allow shippers/carriers to secure product in many types of ways. For ex) Load lock securing + Load strap securing.

Dry van trailer dims and caps

48 & 53 FOOT TRAILERS

Long haul shipping usually requires one or the other. 53 is much more common than a 48 foot trailer – however, certain shipping sites would require a 48 due to space in their loading area.

Max weight cap is 45,000 lbs. Unless the weight of the truck and trailer is heavier, then it must stay under 80,000 lbs.

28 FOOT TRAILERS

Smaller and used when LTL pricing isn’t great / Expedited shipping. Max cap on weight allowed to ship is 23,000 lbs or less.

BOX TRUCKS

Typically used in the city to make local deliveries. 20-30 foot trucks that can haul about 10-15,000 lbs typically.

Most Common

Being the most common type of trailer used in shipping. You will find the best prices shipping your long haul freight using a 53 foot dry van air ride.

Efficiency

Having the enclosed nature of box truck. Using an e-trac system designed on the walls of the trailers allows efficient and safe shipment of your products.

Depending on your product, drivers & shippers can use straps and bars to secure product in the enclosed box.

Flooring

Unlike Reefers and some flat beds – Some trucks are wood floored. This means products also have a possibility to be locked into place using good ol’ fashion nails and hammer.

Some furniture may require this type of safety.
