Dry van trucking is one of the most common methods of transporting freight in the United States. It uses enclosed trailers (typically 48 or 53 feet long) to haul palletized, boxed, or loose freight that doesn’t require refrigeration or special handling.
Typical dry van dimensions:
Interior Length: 53'
Width: ~8.5'
Height: ~9'
Max Weight: ~45,000 lbs
Fits up to 26 standard pallets
Dry vans protect cargo from the elements and are ideal for everything from retail goods and equipment to non-perishable commodities.
Dry van trucking is ideal for:
Non-perishable food and beverage products
Machinery and parts
Consumer packaged goods (CPG)
Retail freight
Palletized equipment
If your shipment doesn’t require temperature control or open loading (like flatbed freight), dry vans offer the perfect balance of security and cost.
