TRUCK TYPES
Dry Van
Dry Van are good when you are not shipping perishable goods. These covered trailers have vents installed at the front and back to circulate airflow and offer protection from the elements. They are perfect for transporting dry goods such as nursery stock, certain plastics and foods.
Hotshot
Hot shot trucking involves hauling smaller, more time-sensitive LTL loads within a specific timeframe, and usually to a single customer or location. Hot shot loads are usually delivered using medium-duty trucks that pull flatbed trailers. Hot shot truck requirements vary.
Tanker
Tankers are used to transport a variety of liquids, such as chemicals, liquids, gases, beverages and dry goods, such as grain. A class 8 truck, they can be used for heavy haul purposes, especially when transporting hazardous materials.
Heavy duty isn’t the only option with these carriers. You can also utilize medium duty or light duty tankers.
Tanker trucks can be pressurized/non-pressurized, vacuum sealed, insulated or non-insulated.

Flatbed
Flatbed are handy for transporting cargo that is bulky, such as construction equipment, cars or mobile homes. A simple cab and a long, open cargo trailer allows for easy loading and unloading since there are no trailer sides or roof. You can choose a flatbed with a level trailer to ease the loading process even more, or for taller hauls, go for the drop deck trailer.
Reefer
Shipping perishable items such as food, plants or pharmaceuticals can add extra pressure to deliver fresh cargo in a timely manner. Refrigerated trucks are specially designed to handle climate sensitive loads, and the internal temperature of the truck can be controlled by the shipper. They also come in a variety of sizes to fit your needs.

Car Hauler
Car Hauler truck responsibilities include loading each vehicle onto a specialized trailer. They often handle the delivery of multiple cars during each trip.
In addition to ensuring that the load is secure, a car hauler makes sure that the auto transport trailer meets safety standards and weight restrictions.
Step Deck
A step deck trailer, also known as a drop deck or lowboy trailer, is a commercial trailer designed to carry tall cargo that exceeds the legal height limit if transported on a traditional flatbed trailer. Transporting tall cargo on a step deck prevents drivers and operators from having to obtain permits.
Step deck trailers have two decks, an upper and a lower. Many step deck trailers also have ramp capabilities, making it easier to load and unload equipment. Their lower height allows forklifts to easily access cargo since they’re closer to the ground.

Box Truck
Box trucks have cabins that are separated from the cargo, but some have doors that lead to the other two areas. Box trucks and vans differ in their structures due to this very reason, the former having no connection between the chassis and the cargo box and the latter having one.
The trucks are usually 10 feet to 26 feet long and can range from a cargo space of 12,500 lbs to 33,000 lbs. They have garage door like rear doors that roll up and are used by companies for transporting home appliances, furniture, etc.
Cargo Van
Cargo vans are used by a wide array of companies for moving tools and equipment between job sites or for making small-sized deliveries around town.
The windowless sides are ideal for advertising, and these vans are highly customizable with bins and shelving in the cargo area.
