Plan Your Dry Van Shipment

Dry van shipping uses an enclosed trailer to protect suitable freight from routine exposure to weather during transportation. It is a practical option for packaged products, palletized goods and general cargo that does not require active temperature control. 166 Logistics America helps shippers discuss dry van transportation for routes across the contiguous United States.

Match the trailer to the load

Before requesting capacity, tell us what you are shipping, how it is packaged and whether the load can be stacked. Include the number of pallets or pieces, total weight and the dimensions of the largest item. Freight that needs loading from the side, overhead crane access or a controlled temperature may call for different equipment. Our dry van versus flatbed guide explains the main differences.

Plan pickup and delivery access

Share the pickup and delivery ZIP codes, business names, operating hours and appointment requirements. Let us know whether each location has a loading dock, forklift or another agreed loading method. A residential address, restricted-access site, multiple stops or a narrow delivery window should be discussed before a truck is assigned.

Request a dry van freight quote

Your lane, shipment size, equipment requirements and timing all affect the transportation plan. If you have recurring volume, include shipment frequency so we can discuss whether a dedicated arrangement is appropriate. Contact our Cary, North Carolina team with the details in our freight quote checklist. We will review the request and clarify requirements before confirming availability and pricing.

Dry Van Shipping Questions

What information is needed for a dry van quote?

Provide the origin and destination ZIP codes, pickup date, commodity, packaging, dimensions, total weight and loading requirements. Include any appointments or extra stops.

Does dry van shipping control cargo temperature?

A standard dry van is enclosed but does not provide active refrigeration. Discuss a refrigerated trailer if the cargo requires a specified temperature range.

Can I request recurring dry van transportation?

Yes. Share your usual lanes, shipment frequency and expected volume so the team can review a recurring or dedicated transportation arrangement.
