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
