When forklifts are transported inside dry vans the shipper nails wood chocks into the floor for each wheel. I wouldn't feel safe driving with the van like that. Why is your boss transporting the van in the first place?

Keep it under 100

They move vehicles like that all the time. Just make sure you have chucks nailed in front and in back. Ebrake on and you will be fine.
Straight Stacks and AM14 Thank this. -
Seriously though, tractors get shipped everyday in vans, with 4x4's spiked to the floor as wheel chokes..
Think the Boss would mind a few pole barn spikes down into that reefer floor??
chokes, chucks, chaulks, chalks,
lots of character and BoxCarKidd Thank this. -
Came to say the same thing. That's exactly how most cars I've seen in shipping containers are shipped.Straight Stacks, AM14 and truckon Thank this. -
Perfect doesn't get any better then that.

Wow. Looks like you got put in a bad spot by the bossman. Now excuse my rookie ignorance, but what would happen if DOT happened to see this? Is this legal even with proper securement? Chains, straps, etc. I know they ship cars in sea cans but haven't read much about vehicles in dry vans/reefers. I'm assuming load bars and some makeshift chocks wouldn't cut it with an inspector.
