Shipping non-perishable freight?Discuss your load
Dry van trucking is enclosed truckload transportation for non-perishable freight that does not need temperature control. Alpha Petroleum runs 53-foot dry vans that carry palletized, boxed, and loose cargo, protected from weather and outside elements from pickup through delivery. Loads can be handled with pallet-jack or forklift loading and unloading.
Dry vans are a versatile option for commonly shipped goods and support both full truckload and less-than-truckload freight. Dry van trucking is one part of Alpha Petroleum truckload logistics, and can be coordinated with reefer, flatbed, bulk, and intermodal freight when a shipping program needs more than one equipment type. Equipment, capacity, and transit are confirmed after reviewing the load details.
Dry vans carry a wide range of non-perishable, commonly shipped goods. The categories below reflect the freight this service already covers. Final equipment, weight limits, and loading depend on the specific cargo and lane.
Dry vans are for non-perishable freight. Temperature-sensitive cargo ships in reefer equipment, and oversized or open-deck loads ship on flatbed. Share the cargo and lane so Alpha Petroleum can confirm the right service. Call (951) 545-7374.
Select the freight that most closely matches your shipment. Alpha Petroleum can review the commodity, packaging, weight, and lane before confirming the service. These results provide preliminary guidance only. They are not a confirmed quote, a rate, guaranteed equipment or capacity, a guaranteed date, or a cargo-acceptance decision.
