Freightliner Business Class M2 106 Dry Van Truck

Although other types of box trucks (such as cutaway-cube, dry cargo delivery, and moving trucks) are often medium- or even light-duty trucks, dry van trucks and straight trucks are generally heavy-duty vehicles, classified either as Class 7 or Class 8 vehicles. They have a cargo box attached to the chassis behind the cab that often measures 20 feet (6.1 meters) long or longer and 8 to 10 ft (2.4 to 3 m) tall. Depending on the model, the body may have a roll-up or swing rear door, curbside door, and/or roadside door. This differs from a curtainside truck that has a cargo box with flexible, fabric sides that roll up to provide exceptionally easy loading and unloading. Although boxes vary in size and features, they’re generally designed to haul cargo and are often used to carry out local or regional deliveries.
