Truck Types

Dry Van

A dry van is a versatile type of semi-trailer commonly used in the transportation industry. It features an enclosed cargo area, providing protection from weather elements and secure storage for various types of freight. Ideal for transporting dry goods that do not require temperature control, such as consumer goods, electronics, and industrial materials. Dry vans are widely utilized for long-haul transportation, offering efficient and reliable delivery of goods across diverse industries.

Step Deck

A step deck, also known as a drop deck trailer, is a unique flatbed trailer featuring a lower deck and an elevated rear section. This design facilitates the transportation of taller cargo, maintaining legal height restrictions. Step decks are popular for hauling oversized or irregularly shaped loads, including machinery, equipment, and construction materials. Their versatility enables them to navigate height-restricted areas more easily compared to traditional flatbed trailers. With the ability to accommodate taller freight while ensuring compliance with regulations, step decks are invaluable assets in industries requiring the transportation of bulky or awkwardly shaped items.

Reefer

A reefer, short for refrigerated trailer, is a specialized type of trailer equipped with a built-in refrigeration unit. This allows for the transportation of temperature-sensitive cargo, such as perishable foods, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, at controlled temperatures. Reefers are essential for maintaining the freshness and quality of goods during transit, ensuring they reach their destination in optimal condition. With precise temperature control capabilities, reefers provide peace of mind for shippers and recipients alike, offering a reliable solution for the transportation of perishable goods across various industries, including food distribution, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare.

Flatbed

A flatbed trailer is a versatile and open-decked transportation vehicle used for hauling a wide range of cargo. Its design features a flat, level bed with no sides or roof, providing flexibility for loading and securing various types of freight, including large machinery, construction materials, and oversized loads. Flatbed trailers are commonly utilized in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and agriculture, where the ability to transport heavy, bulky, or irregularly shaped items is essential. Their open design allows for easy loading and unloading using cranes, forklifts, or other equipment, making them an invaluable asset in many transportation operations.

Power Only

Power only trucks are specialized vehicles used in transportation logistics, providing the power unit (tractor) without a trailer. This setup allows for flexible and cost-effective shipping solutions, as shippers can utilize their trailers while relying on professional trucking companies for transportation services. Power only trucks offer versatility for various cargo types, including dry van, flatbed, or refrigerated trailers, depending on the shipper’s needs. They enable efficient utilization of resources, optimize fleet capacity, and provide reliable transportation solutions for businesses across different industries. With power only trucks, companies can streamline their logistics operations and meet their shipping requirements effectively.

Hotshot

A hotshot is a specialized vehicle used for expedited transportation of time-sensitive or urgent freight. Typically a smaller truck, such as a pickup truck or a medium-duty truck, equipped with a flatbed or gooseneck trailer, hotshots offer fast and efficient delivery for smaller loads. They are ideal for transporting goods that require immediate delivery, such as emergency supplies, construction materials, or perishable items. Hotshot trucks provide flexibility, agility, and quick response times, making them invaluable assets for businesses needing rapid transportation solutions. With hotshot trucks, companies can meet tight deadlines and ensure timely delivery of critical shipments.

Boxtruck

A box truck, also known as a cube truck or straight truck, is a versatile transportation vehicle with a fully enclosed cargo area. This type of truck features a distinct box-shaped body mounted on a chassis, providing secure and weatherproof storage for various types of freight. Box trucks are commonly used for local and regional deliveries, making them ideal for transporting goods such as household items, furniture, appliances, and commercial products. Their compact size and maneuverability allow for easy navigation through urban areas and tight spaces, making them an efficient and reliable option for businesses requiring timely and convenient transportation solutions.

Straight Truck

A straight truck, also known as a box truck or cube truck, is a versatile transportation vehicle with a single chassis and an enclosed cargo area. These trucks come in various sizes and configurations, ranging from light-duty to heavy-duty models. Straight trucks are commonly used for local and regional deliveries, providing secure and weatherproof storage for a wide range of cargo, including household goods, furniture, appliances, and commercial products.
