Dry Van Transport

What Ships in a Dry Van

Palletized and shrink-wrapped goods are the core of it: packaged foods and beverages, retail and e-commerce stock, machine parts, building materials that must stay dry, furniture, and plant or warehouse relocations. If it is non-perishable, fits through the rear door, and loads with a forklift or pallet jack, a dry van is usually the cheapest safe way to move it. Freight that is too tall, too wide, or crane-loaded belongs on our flatbed shipping service instead, and we will tell you which side of that line your load sits on.

Docks, Liftgates, and the Details That Set the Rate

Dry van pricing is driven by the lane, the weight, and the handling at each end. Dock-to-dock is the baseline; a liftgate, residential delivery, inside pickup, or appointment scheduling each add cost, so tell us up front and the quote stays firm. For LTL, an accurate freight class and honest dimensions matter, because reclassification after the fact is how surprise invoices happen. And if you already own a loaded trailer and just need a tractor and driver, our power only service covers exactly that.
