With more than 5 million dry van trailers in the U.S., dry van freight is the most popular, versatile, and widely trusted freight transportation method. Sidney, Iowa’s HFC Transport is one of the Midwest’s premier trucking and logistics companies specializing in dry van shipping. 

Also called “dry van trailer” or “box trailer,” dry van freight differs from refrigerated or flatbed trailers in that the items are shipped in fully enclosed, or “boxed,” semi-trailers. It is the perfect shipping method for boxed items and palleted materials; most retail dry goods, such as non-perishable food and household items; clothing and textiles; plastics; electronics and parts; even automobiles.

The benefits of HFC dry van freighting are many. It’s:

·      Versatile: Because it accommodates a wide range of products, it’s the perfect shipping solution for numerous industries, ranging from retail to manufacturing.

·      Secure and Protected: No matter what the weather or road conditions, cargo arrives undamaged in the fully enclosed trailer. High winds, rain and snow, direct heat, dust and debris—even theft—are no match for box trailers.

·      Efficient and Cost-Effective: Because it doesn’t require special operations or extra services like refrigerated freight, dry van freighting is one of the most affordable means of shipping cargo. Plus, HFC’s optimized routes reduces run lengths.

·      Scalability: From single loads or high-volume shipments, HFC can accommodate your need.
