Dry Van Trailers For Sale

Among the most popular items dry van semitrailers carry are non-perishable goods that need protection from environmental conditions but no other special conditions for transportation. Typical payloads include canned/boxed foods and grains, clothing and shoes, equipment and appliances, furniture and other home goods, and construction materials.

Dry Van Semitrailer Advantages

Although a dry van trailer may not be able to transport the types of large or odd-shaped cargo that a flatbed or lowboy can, there are many advantages to running dry vans over other trailer types. Here are some top considerations when comparing your semitrailer options:

• Affordability. Dry van trailer shipping and maintenance costs are cheaper as opposed to reefers or flatbeds. And some drivers also note that working on a dry van is faster compared to other tracks, which helps them clock in more efficiently. 
• Efficiency. Dry van trailers have drops and hooks that allow drivers to drop off a container and hook it to another truck when needed. Not to mention that one can haul more freight and store cargo for multiple customers per load. 
• Safety. The enclosed design and locks on the truck's doors help secure the cargo from environmental conditions, theft, and other unpleasant surprises. 
• Versatility. A dry van trailer can accommodate all types of cargo, from construction materials and work equipment to packages, furniture, and even drinks and non-perishable foods.

Pro Tip: Dry van semitrailer drivers offer different types of delivery for their clients. For example, if one chooses a less-than-truckload (LTL) delivery, they will pay less but their cargo will be in the van with that of other customers. With full-truckload (FTL) shipments, everything is vice-versa, and the customer gets the whole van at their disposal, generally for a higher fee.
