Dry Van Transportation Services
Dry van shipping is the most popular way to move freight in Canada. Whether your product is skidded, floor loaded, in crates or boxes, an enclosed 53' dry van protects your non-perishable goods from weather and road debris door to door.
Versatile, available, competitively priced
Dry vans are the workhorse of the trucking industry, which means wider availability and the most competitive price point of any equipment type. They handle retail goods, packaged foods, building products, machinery parts, e-commerce freight and nearly any non-perishable commodity.
We arrange both full truckload dry vans and LTL dry van space, so the same trusted equipment works whether you're shipping one pallet or fifty-three feet of freight.
Frequently asked questions
What fits in a 53' dry van?
A standard 53' dry van holds up to 26 standard 48"×40" skids single-stacked (52–56 double-stacked where freight allows) with a maximum payload of about 44,000 lbs.
Can dry vans handle temperature-sensitive goods?
Dry vans are not temperature controlled. For perishable, frozen, or heat-sensitive freight, use our reefer service, which maintains a set temperature throughout transit.
