Dry Van Dispatching

Dry van is the standard enclosed trailer for freight that doesn't need temperature control — retail goods, packaged consumer products, paper, and palletized freight. It's the most commonly requested equipment type on TruckLoad24, with the deepest broker relationships and most consistent lane availability.
