Trucking companies by equipment

Pick the trailer type you need. Each guide covers what the equipment is best for, typical freight, and a state-by-state lane rate tool.

Dry Van carriers

Enclosed 53-foot trailers used for non-perishable freight. The most common equipment type in North American trucking.

~$2.05/mi national baseline
Flatbed carriers

Open-deck trailers for oversized, heavy, or oddly shaped freight that needs to be loaded from the side or top by crane or forklift.

~$2.55/mi national baseline
Reefer carriers

Refrigerated trailers for temperature-controlled freight. Used for perishables and pharmaceuticals that must stay within a set temperature range.

~$2.35/mi national baseline
Box Truck carriers

Straight trucks (typically 16 to 26 feet) used for last-mile, LTL, and short-haul freight where a full 53-foot trailer is overkill.

~$1.85/mi national baseline
