Hello
I'm in school currently and I have to write a paper for my transportation class. The paper is about the trucking industry. I'm wondering could anybody tell me what are the most commonly shipped items by semi trucks? I'm wondering whats most commonly shipped for 53 dry vans and flatbed trucks specifically. Thank you all.

Hmm, all kinds of stuff? Some kind of parts I think
-
Everything you see at Walmart.
Better question might be the oddball stuff. -
Pallets. Most van and reefers loads are on a pallet. Flatbed sometimes haul a whole load of pallets.
-
See all those orange trucks that say Schneider on them? They are all hauling hot dogs.
kw600 Thanks this. -
Vans-packaging materials and food related products
Flatbeds- construction materials
There are many, many more for both -
I would say there 3 products hauled everyday maybe 4 wood, plastics, paper, and my 4th would be fuel. And these are bulk raw products. Then they turn these products into somthing and they are shiped all over the United States and the world. You can see what im saying.hope this helps.

Jonkie Thanks this. -
Go to Walmart like suggested already and make a list.
Then go to a hardware store and do the same.
Check out a parts catalog from NAPA.
Then you get a rough idea.
"Everything is delivered by a truck, except babies."
I got this front an other driver. And I guess he wouldn't care if you used it for your letter. -
Sailboat fuel. The #### keeps falling off the deck though.
Slowpoke KW and kimbosa Thank this.
