Why You Should Be Shipping the FreightwithDryVanTrailers?
Dry van transport services are one of the most common types of freight shipping in logistics. The term "dry van" refers to the trucks or vans used to transport cargo. A dry van, also known as a “dry van trailer" or "box trailer," is a semi-trailer that is completely enclosed on all sides to keep shipments "dry" and protected from the elements. A loading and unloading door is located on the back of the truck, and the cargo is transported in a completely enclosed, sealed vehicle that resembles a "box." If your cargo is not perishable or oversized, it will most likely be shipped in a dry van. Dry van services are used for both short and long-distance transportation.
Dry van shipping entails attaching a sealed container to the back of a semi-truck. There is no climate control in dry van shipping, unlike refrigerated containers or "reefers," but there is more
space to transport large amounts of cargo safely. Dry van trailer come in a variety of materials, but the most common are galvanized steel, aluminum, hardwood, or iron.
What are the advantages of using dry van transportation?
Cost-effectiveness
Dry van shipping is less expensive than other modes of freight transportation because vehicles are readily available. Furthermore, dry vans do not require additional features such as refrigerated containers. Even for long-distance shipments, it is one of the most affordable shipping options available.
Adaptability
Dry van shipping is appropriate for most non-perishable goods or, more broadly, anything that can fit into the trailer and does not require a temperature-controlled environment. A dry van trailer is intended to transport palletized, boxed, or loose cargo.
Safety
Dry van shipping is one of the most secure modes of transportation because it protects the cargo in the following situations:
Protection against the elements:
The truck's four walls shield shipments from inclement weather such as snow, wind, and rain. No matter the season or distance travelled during Mountain Transport, maximum safety is guaranteed.
Protection From theft:
Compared to flat deck trucks or curtain-side vans, dry vans use sealed containers, which significantly lowers the risk of theft.
Optional drop and hook
These options enable the carrier to drop off an empty trailer at the destination and pick up a full one, reducing turnaround times and avoiding wasted time at either end of the journey.
