Dry Van Shipping

Standard enclosed trailers for general freight. Safe, secure, and reliable protection for your goods throughout transit.

Overview

What is Dry Van Shipping?

Dry van trailers are fully enclosed, non-temperature-controlled trailers. They’re the most common type of freight trailer on the road, making up the backbone of the trucking industry.

The “dry” in dry van means these trailers don’t have refrigeration or climate control — they’re designed for freight that doesn’t require temperature regulation.

Standard dry vans are 53 feet long, 8.5 feet wide, and 9 feet tall, providing approximately 3,000 cubic feet of cargo space and capacity for up to 45,000 pounds.
