Typically, these types of trucks are used to transport heavy loads that won't be compromised in bad weather or on rough roads.

Dry Van

From the outside, a cargo van looks a lot like a passenger van and typically has a sliding side door, as well as large rear doors for loading and unloading cargo.

Reefer

Refrigerated containers, also called reefer containers, are used for goods that need to be temperature controlled during shipping. Reefer containers are equipped with a refrigeration unit that is connected to the power supply on board the ship.

Hot Shot

Hot shot trucking involves hauling smaller, more time-sensitive LTL (less than truckload) loads within a specific time frame, and usually to a single customer or location. Hot shot loads are usually delivered using medium-duty trucks that pull flatbed trailers. Hot shot truck requirements vary.
