What van trucking is used for
Dry van and enclosed van trucking can work for palletized freight, cartons, packaged goods, retail freight, warehouse freight, trade show materials, parts, supplies and other commercial cargo that does not require open-deck equipment.
Choosing LTL, dry van or full truckload
Smaller enclosed freight may move through LTL. Larger shipments, high-value freight or direct deliveries may need full truckload dry van service. Smaller urgent shipments may fit Sprinter van freight or hot shot trucking.
Loading and delivery planning
A van trucking quote should include dock access, forklift availability, pallet count, total weight, dimensions and receiver hours. If pickup or delivery is not at a standard commercial dock, those details should be known early.
