Dry Van Freight Services

All Coast Express provides dry van freight transportation across the United States. Full truckload capacity in secure enclosed trailers with consistent transit times, live GPS tracking, and 24/7 dispatch coordination for general and palletized freight.

What Is Dry Van Freight?

Dry van freight refers to the transportation of non-perishable goods in an enclosed, weather-protected trailer. It is the most common form of truckload freight in the United States — used for consumer goods, industrial products, packaged foods, electronics, retail merchandise, and any cargo that doesn't require temperature control but needs protection from the elements.

All Coast Express operates dry van freight as part of a broader logistics offering, giving shippers a single reliable carrier for both refrigerated and standard freight needs. Whether you need a full truckload or coordinated multi-stop routing, our team handles it with the same operational discipline applied to our cold chain services.
