Dry van trucking 101

Dry van trucking is the ideal freight shipping method for large quantities of non-perishable items. While dry vans include a fully sealed container, they do not offer the temperature controls of reefers. However, the lack of built-in refrigeration gives you plenty of additional space for large, cost-effective pallet transports.
Common dry van cargo includes:

• Furniture
• Clothing
• Non-perishable food and beverage products
• Cleaning and beauty products
• Small construction and automotive parts
• Non-temperature-sensitive electronics

The right fit for the right load

Sealed dry van containers are more cost-effective than reefers while still providing reliable protection against mild weather, travel damage, and overnight theft. However, container size may limit oversized product capacity—large and oversized loads may be better served with flatbed trucks.

Determining the right size container and type of shipping is essential to your products’ safe delivery. When you work with Snow Logistics, we not only partner you with one of our trusted carriers, but we make sure you’re working with the best possible shipment style for your unique loads.
