Dry vans work exceptionally well for transporting packaged consumer goods, electronics, furniture, parts, and machinery. They are designed to transport loose, boxed, or palletized freight. While they’re not temperature-controlled, they do protect shipments from the outside elements and can be locked, reducing theft.
Cowtown Express’s dry vans are regularly serviced and undergo stringent inspections to ensure they follow road safety standards. Our premium fleet has 53’ Air Ride Trailers, 28’ Dry Van Trailers, and Straight Trucks. All are capable of accommodating different types of goods, but their sizes differ.
These trailers’ air suspension provides a smoother ride. Both our standard and roll bed options transport up to 45,000 pounds. Their dimensions are: 53’ x 8’ 6” x 8’ 6” (length, width, height).
Measuring 28’ x 8’ x 9’ (length, width, height), these trailers can carry 22,500 pounds and 14 standard pallet positions. They are ideal for transporting smaller cargo van loads.
Also called box trucks, these often have a liftgate and are frequently used for city deliveries. Although they’re available in different sizes, the most common is 24’ x 8’ x 8’6” (length, width, height).
Our dry van carriers transport a variety of robust and fragile merchandise for many industries from pharmaceutical to retail, construction, agriculture, and more. Some of the goods we transport include:
Machine Tool Goods
Appliances
Food Products
Building Materials
Electronics
Electrical Wiring
Plastics
Rugs

Request a quoteA standard dry van can be loaded up to 44,000 to 45,000 pounds. If your palettes are standard-sized (48’ x 40’ x 48), you can fit 26 non-stackable or 52 stackable. Unlike other vans, a dry van cannot accommodate oversized freight as it is enclosed.
Double trailers each 40 to 53 feet long are legal in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Montana, Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, and Utah. They are also legal in Indiana, Florida, Massachusetts, Ohio, and New York, but only toll roads.
Yes, our multi-stop option allows for multiple deliveries. The more stops included the longer haul time. Even though we always strive to deliver freight as fast as possible, multi-stops do slow the process ever so slightly, which is important to bear in mind when dealing with urgent deadlines.
The cost of dry van transportation depends on the size of the consignment, i.e., how many vans you need and the distance traveled. It’s best to contact us with your requirements so that we can provide you with an accurate quote.
