What a 53-foot van holds
A dry van is a fully enclosed trailer that keeps the weather out. At 53 feet, ours is the largest size that runs the interstates without a special permit. It's the industry standard for moving general freight across the country.

Ready for general freight
This is general-freight service for manufacturers, direct shippers, and anyone who wants to book the truck themselves. A dry van handles just about anything that fits inside, on a pallet, in a box, in a crate, or otherwise, covering most general freight. For example:
- Palletized freight
- Packaged goods
- Building materials
- Equipment
One truck the whole way
The fewer times freight gets handled, the less can happen to it. Move a shipment through a terminal network and it's loaded, unloaded, sorted, and reloaded every time it changes trucks, and every handoff is a chance for something to get damaged or go missing. On one truck, your freight is loaded once at pickup and unloaded once at delivery, and it stays put on the way.
