Box Truck: Definition and Examples

What is Box Truck?

A box truck, also called a straight truck, is an enclosed vehicle with a separate cargo box. It is commonly used for larger shipments that do not fit in a cargo van.

Why it matters

The box truck option can provide more cargo space and may be suitable for palletized, bulky or multi-piece freight, depending on the request.
