Our Straight Truck Delivery Services

Our box truck carriers are ideal for swiftly moving standardized cargo over long or short distances. When compared to standard flatbed trailers, they offer better protection against the elements and improved temperature control. Logistics are also simpler for straight box vans, as they don't require permits. The combination of our straight vans, as well as a vast network of long-standing carriers allows Cowtown Logistics Freight Management to help match any capacity.

Full Truckload Shipping

This service is designed for customers who have a large volume of cargo that needs to be transported. With full truckload shipping, the entire truck is dedicated to one customer, ensuring that their goods are the only ones on board. This type of service is often more cost-effective than LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping for larger shipments.

Temp-Controlled Freight

Multiple types of cargo require temperature-controlled transportation to maintain their quality and safety. Our straight truck delivery service provides temperature-controlled options for customers who need to transport goods such as perishable food items or pharmaceuticals.

Fragile Freight Shipping

Certain types of cargo require special handling to ensure that they arrive at their destination in pristine condition. Our straight truck delivery service offers options for transporting fragile freight, including protective packaging and careful handling to minimize the risk of damage.

What Box Trucks Do We Provide?

Typically between 14'-26' in length, our cube vans are used to transport standard freight or utilized as expediter trucks for time-critical loads. Some of our straight trucks have a rear door that swings open, while others have roll-ups and even feature a cargo area accessible from the cab. We also offer semi trucks for our customers.

Box trucks also go by the name of cube trucks, cube vans, or bob trucks and can carry a maximum weight of 14,000 pounds or 12 pallets - much more than regular pickup trucks. Cowtown Logistics Freight Management provides straight trucks with lift gates, vented trailers, and refrigeration options.

Commodity Types that Suit Best for Straight Trucks

As one of the most common trucks used in logistics, straight trucks carry cargo on the same chassis that supports the cab and power unit. It's a versatile option for transporting smaller items and boxed cargo that can be manually loaded.

Parcels: This includes small packages and boxes that are shipped by courier services or e-commerce companies. Examples of parcel shipments are clothing, electronics, books, and personal care items.
Printed goods: These are products that are printed on paper or other materials, such as brochures, flyers, posters, and magazines. They're usually transported in boxes or pallets.
Furniture: Straight trucks are ideal for transporting small to medium-sized furniture pieces, such as chairs, tables, bookshelves, and cabinets. These items can be wrapped in protective covers and secured inside the cargo area of the truck.
Retail goods: Straight trucks are commonly used for transporting retail goods, such as clothing, shoes, accessories, and beauty products. These items are typically shipped in boxes or crates.
Household appliances: This includes smaller appliances, such as microwaves, blenders, vacuum cleaners, and fans. They can be packed in boxes or wrapped in protective materials before being loaded onto the truck.
Tools and equipment: Straight trucks are suitable for transporting smaller tools and equipment, such as power tools, hand tools, and gardening equipment. These items can be packed in boxes or secured on pallets before being loaded onto the truck.
