SHIPPING OF DRY VANS

There are many methods of freight transportation around the world, but dry van freight shipping is one of the most widely used. As the name suggests, a dry van is a type of semi-truck trailer that is completely enclosed to protect your shipment from the elements. They are versatile enough to be used for a wide variety of products, materials, and other items. Dry van trailers are designed to carry palletized, boxed, or loose freight. It is important to note that dry van trailers do not have temperature-controlled features and cannot handle oversized shipments, which makes them unsuitable for sensitive or large shipments.
