What Is Dry Van Full Truckload Shipping?
Dry van shipping refers to freight hauled in an enclosed trailer—typically 53 feet long—protecting goods from weather, dust, theft, and road conditions. It is the most commonly used mode for standard commodities.
Dry van FTL is ideal when:
- You have enough volume to fill a full trailer
- You want dedicated capacity for a single shipment
- Your freight must remain enclosed and protected
- You’re moving palletized or boxed commodities across regions or nationwide
- You need predictable costs and dependable transit times
Swivel helps you secure the right dry van truck, at the right time, with the right carrier—every time.
