What Is Dry Van Shipping?
Dry van transportation is the most common method of moving freight in North America. A dry van trailer is an enclosed 53-foot trailer designed to protect cargo from weather, road debris, and theft while transporting non-temperature-sensitive goods.
Because dry vans can handle a wide variety of products, they are often the most flexible and economical transportation solution for manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers.
Freight Commonly Shipped in Dry Vans
Dry van trailers are ideal for transporting a wide range of products, including:
- Consumer packaged goods
- Retail merchandise
- Manufacturing components
- Industrial equipment
- Building materials
- Paper products
- Furniture
- Electronics
- Automotive parts
- Plastics and packaging materials
- Non-perishable food products
- Household goods
- E-commerce shipments
- General palletized freight
If your shipment does not require refrigeration or specialized equipment, a dry van is often the best transportation option.
Dry Van Equipment
Most shipments move in standard 53-foot enclosed trailers capable of carrying up to approximately 45,000 pounds, subject to equipment specifications and legal weight limits.
Dry van trailers provide protection from:
- Rain
- Snow
- Wind
- Dirt and road debris
- Excessive sun exposure
- Unauthorized access during transit
This enclosed design helps reduce the risk of freight damage while providing dependable transportation across local, regional, and long-haul routes.
Why Choose Dry Van Shipping?
Dry van transportation offers several important advantages:
Versatility
Dry vans accommodate thousands of different products and shipping requirements, making them suitable for businesses across nearly every industry.
Protection

Availability
Dry vans represent the largest segment of commercial freight transportation, providing broad equipment availability across the country.
