What is Dry Van Trucking?

Dry van trucking is the most common type of freight shipping in the United States. According to the American Trucking Association, in 2022, dry van trucking and freight shipments in the United States resulted in over 11.4 billion tons of freight being moved, generating over $940 billion in revenue. Dry vans are enclosed trailers that transport non-perishable and palletized goods that do not require refrigeration. They shield freight from rain, snow, road debris, and theft, making them ideal for retail, food and beverage (non-refrigerated), e-commerce, and manufacturing sectors. Dry vans typically measure 53 feet long and 102 inches wide, with load capacities of up to 45,000 pounds, depending on the cargo and legal road limits. Their versatility makes them a cornerstone of freight logistics across industries.
