What is a dry van truck?
A dry van truck is a type of semi-truck that is pulling a fully enclosed dry van trailer. These enclosed trailers protect shipments from the outside elements and are designed to carry loose freight, pallets and/or boxes. Dry van trailers are not refrigerated and cannot carry any oversized loads. Dry van trucking jobs can be confined within a city or span across the country and even take drivers between countries. The maximum weight for a dry van trailer is approximately 43,000lbs.
Is a box truck a dry van?
A box truck is not a dry van trailer. Box trucks, or more correctly a straight truck, is a type of medium sized truck that is built to carry its cargo on the same chassis as the cab and drive train.

This is one of the most commonly used methods for moving freight in the world, so drivers are needed for dry van trucking jobs.
