About Dry Van Trucking
Dry van is the most common trailer type in the US, hauling general freight, consumer goods, and packaged products. High availability means competitive rates, but consistent volume keeps utilization strong.
Dry Van Market in the Southeast
The Southeast is one of the nation's strongest dry van markets, fueled by Atlanta's role as a distribution hub and Florida's massive consumer base. Savannah and Charleston ports generate steady import freight, while automotive manufacturing in Tennessee, Alabama, and South Carolina adds reliable contract lanes. Deadhead rates are generally favorable thanks to high freight density along the I-75 and I-85 corridors.
