Dry Van Trailers For Sale in Mississippi and Louisiana

Dry Van Trailers

The most common form of freight transportation in the United States is dry van shipping. A dry van or enclosed box trailer is essentially a box on wheels that has doors in the rear, and you’ve undoubtedly seen many of these vehicles on the highway before. Dry van trailers do not have temperature control features, so they are good for transporting non-perishable cargo in pallets or boxes. The versatility of dry van trailers is ideal for both local transport and long-distance transport needs.

Southern States Utility—with locations in Richland and Olive Branch, MS, and Monroe and Hammond, LA—is your Deep South dry van trailer dealer. Read on to learn more about dry van trailers and how to shop for one.

Advantages

If you want a trailer that’s convenient, dry van trailers are just the ticket. These large containers protect your cargo from weather damage, vandalism and theft. You can use them for many types of different cargo so long as it doesn’t need to be maintained at a cold temperature. A dry van trailer can be used to transport a full truckload or they can be used for less than truckload (LTL) shipping needs. Factories, consumer outlets and resellers generally have the facilities you need to load and unload cargo from dry van trailers in the form of loading docks. Dry van trailers are used widely in a variety of different industries, so they’re readily available and not difficult to locate.

How They’re Used

Dry van trailers are great for transporting many types of cargo, as noted above. Some common usages include the transport of preserved foods, cleaning products, heavy equipment and electronics. There are many shipping companies that use dry van trailers to transport purchased goods from the buyer to the consumer as well. You can find dry van trailer companies that work locally, regionally or nationally, so that whatever you need to transport and however far it needs to go, you’ll be able to find a dry van trailer to get the job done.

Versatility

Dry van trailers tend to max out at about 53’ in length, with a weight capacity of up to 45,000 pounds or approximately 26 standard-sized pallets. Both full truckload and LTL shipping are done via dry van trailers. Full truckload shipping lets people customize their pick-up and delivery schedules to ensure that cargo arrives safely in a timely manner. LTL shipping can help to cut costs by allowing for shipment consolidation.
