What are Dry Van Rates?

Dry Van Rates refer to the pricing or charges associated with the transportation of goods using dry van trailers in the US domestic truckload shipping industry. Dry vans are fully enclosed trailers designed to transport non-perishable goods, also known as dry freight, that do not require temperature-controlled environments. 

Dry van rates are an essential aspect of the truckload shipping industry, as they determine the cost of shipping goods from one location to another using these standard trailers.

Rates can be charged for full truckload services or as less-than-truckload (LTL) services. With LTL, the rates are based on freight classification systems of the US. These are established by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA).
