What is Dry Van Freight?
A dry van trailer is a fully enclosed box trailer that protects goods from weather, theft, and damage during transit. Unlike flatbeds or reefers, dry vans are non-climate controlled but are perfectly suited for the majority of general freight. They typically measure 48 to 53 feet in length and can handle up to 45,000 pounds of cargo, making them the most widely used trailer type in logistics.
Because of their flexibility, dry vans are essential for industries such as retail, e-commerce, consumer packaged goods, manufacturing, and government supply chains.
