Full Truckload Shipping
Full truckload shipping refers to the use of a dedicated truck to move a shipment from one point to another. It can refer to both dry vans and refrigerated equipment.
Dry Van –Used when transporting goods that don’t need to be kept within a specific temperature range. Great for any shelf-stable product. When thinking of full truckload shipping, this is the idea that most likely comes to mind.
Equipment size – 53’ or 48’
Door types – swing, roll up, and lift gate
Temp Control/Refrigerated (Reefer) – Used when transporting freight that must be kept at a specific temperature to prevent spoilage or breakage. Often used for the transport of perishable food and beverage products or to protect freight from environmental conditions. Full truckload shipping is most often used when a shipper has enough freight to fill an entire semi, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. There are numerous benefits to full truckload shipping that make it appealing over other modes, even for smaller shipments. Learn more about partial shipping here.
