Full truckload capacity in an enclosed trailer. Up to 44,000 lbs of palletized or bulk freight, hauled exclusive-use from origin to destination.
53-foot dry vans haul full truckload freight in an enclosed trailer. The asset of choice when a shipment fills a standard trailer, needs weather protection, and has to move exclusive-use without LTL terminal stops. Dock-height loading at both ends.
Common dry van loads: full truckload palletized freight (22 to 26 pallets), bulk packaged goods, consumer products and retail inventory, non-perishable food and beverage, high-volume manufacturing output, furniture and fixtures at scale, and dry industrial materials. If it needs to stay dry and fills a 53-foot trailer, dry van is the call.
Dry vans also cover partial truckload freight when the shipper wants exclusive-use dispatch without sharing the trailer. Paying for a full trailer on a partial load trades cost for schedule control — no consolidation delays, no hub stops, direct from origin to destination on a single rig.

Get a Free QuoteFour things that separate an OnPoint dry van from calling a freight broker.
No LTL consolidation, no hub transfers, no sorting. One trailer, one driver, direct from pickup to delivery — never co-loaded with another shipper's cargo.
Own fleet plus a vetted carrier network for overflow capacity. Same accountability standard either way — same tracking, same single point of contact.
Production shortfalls, retail restocking, and distribution emergencies don't keep business hours. Dispatch runs around the clock, 365 days a year.
Live GPS tracking from the moment the trailer is loaded. One person managing your shipment — you'll know where the freight is and have one number to call.
A 53-foot enclosed trailer pulled by a semi-tractor. Standard size for full truckload (FTL) freight across North America. Enclosed for weather and cargo protection, not temperature-controlled. Dock-height loading. Capacity approximately 44,000 lbs of palletized or loose freight.
Up to 44,000 lbs. Typically 22 to 26 standard pallets depending on pallet size and stacking. Interior dimensions are approximately 53 feet long, 100 inches wide, and 110 inches tall. Weight, pallet count, or cube can be the limiting factor depending on the load.
Rates depend on distance, urgency, and lane. Most dry van freight is priced per loaded mile with fuel surcharge. Full truckload rates are typically lower per mile than smaller vehicle expedited service but require filling (or paying for) the full trailer. Expedited or exclusive-use dry van loads carry higher pricing over standard FTL. Request a quote for an exact number.
Yes, on an exclusive-use basis. You're paying for the full trailer but only loading part of it. The tradeoff is speed and schedule control — your freight moves direct without consolidation delays or hub transfers. For shippers with tight deadlines, exclusive-use partial loads on a dry van can beat traditional LTL on transit time.
Temperature control. Dry vans are enclosed but not refrigerated. Reefers (refrigerated trailers) have an onboard refrigeration unit that maintains temperature throughout transit. Loads that can tolerate ambient temperature swings go in a dry van. Loads that require specific temperature ranges — perishables, pharma, certain chemicals — require a reefer.
Often within 2 hours of confirming a shipment. Fleet and network availability and pickup location affect timing. For emergency dispatch, call us directly at (813) 442-3001 — our dispatchers answer 24/7 and give you a realistic pickup window immediately.
If your load needs open-deck hauling, temperature control, or a smaller dedicated vehicle, we have the right asset.
