Dry Van Definition
A dry van trailer is a fully enclosed semi-trailer that doesn't need climate-controlled temperatures to transport dry freight. Dry van trailers protect cargo and freight from the road's natural elements and wear and tear. Because dry vans are enclosed, they can't carry oversize loads.
