FLATBED

Flatbed Trailer Shipping

Flatbed trucking is vital to our economy and every industry in operation. That’s why every day millions of tons of machinery, equipment, and products are shipped nationwide on flatbed trucks.

Flatbed shipping provides dimensional flexibility for large freight that drywall (box trailer) walls can’t accommodate.

When you work with the experts at DTC for your flatbed shipping requirements, we’ll guide you through DOT and safety requirements, and coordinate additional equipment needed for loading and unloading your freight. It’s critical for us to understand all the particulars of your shipment, including the commodities being shipped, the value, dimensions and weight.

Talk with our experts who can help ensure that you have the security, capacity and the right equipment to get the job done safely. Our goal is to make shipping a lighter load for you.

REEFER

Reefer / Refrigerated Trailer Shipping

Refrigerated trucks, also referred to as reefer trucks, are utilized in the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods. These commercial vehicles are designed to haul large amounts of cargo, similar to standard semi-trailers.

Refrigerated freight refers to freight that requires specific, temperature-controlled environments during shipment. This is where refrigerated trucks, or reefer trucks, come into play. As the name implies, refrigerated trucks include a built-in refrigeration system inside their trailers to keep their cargo cool. Refrigerated freight can range anywhere from perishables like fresh foods (anything from fruit to seafood), to pharmaceuticals like insulin or over-the-counter medication.

DRY VAN

Dry Van / Box Trailer Shipping

Dry vans offer a versatile method of shipping and are well suited for everything from clothing, electronics, and shelf-stable canned goods to manufacturing materials, automotive parts, health and beauty supplies, and so many other consumer goods. The enclosed nature makes this type of haul truck a good choice for high-value loads you’d like protected from inclement weather, shipping damage, and theft.
