EQUIPMENT TYPES

Dry
van

Dry van box trailers are enclosed semi-trailers used for transporting non-perishable goods and are the most common type of freight transport in the U.S.

Flat
Bed

flat-bed

Flatbed trailers have no sides or roof, which makes getting to the cargo super easy. This means loading and unloading is quicker and less likely to cause any damage. They are built to support heavy loads and withstand harsh road conditions.

Straight
Truck

straight-truck

A straight truck is a vehicle with one solid frame that supports both the cab and the cargo. Unlike tractor-trailers, where the cab can be separated from the trailer, straight trucks keep everything connected.

Sprinter /
Cargo Van

sprinter-cargo-van

These vans are great for logistics since they can carry big and heavy items like equipment, supplies, and packages. They are ideal for businesses that prioritize moving goods over transporting passengers.

CAPACITY

Full Truck Load

Used for larger shipments that utilize the full capacity of an 18-wheeler’s trailer, generally exceeding 8,000 pounds.

Less Than Truck Load

Ideal for smaller shipments, providing a cost-effective solution and most preferable for freight transportation.
