Dry Van Trucking Benefits
One advantage of using containers to haul is the ability to keep cargo dry and secure during transport. Products are often easier to load into containers as well, since they are often stacked on pallets or placed in boxes. Of course, not all freight can be shipped using standard containers, particularly equipment that might be longer than 53 feet (the standard length of most box trucks) or otherwise configured in an awkward manner. In these cases, specialized trailers like the Step-deck or RGN should be utilized to provide clients with worry-free hauling services.
Dry van trucking is the most common type of bulk transport you'll see on the roads. Most semi-trailers traveling across the country are "dry vans," named so because they can haul a variety of dry goods, from consumer products to containers, pallets and other items. Most truck drivers start out as dry van haulers, as this is the least specialized of the truck types and presents drivers with an almost predictable cycle of pick ups and deliveries to fill their time.
