Frequently asked questions

Under the federal 80,000 lb gross vehicle weight limit, a standard 53' dry van tractor-trailer typically nets 42,000–45,000 lb of payload depending on tractor weight, fuel and axle configuration. Heavy loads should be palletized to spread weight across the trailer.

Yes. Our vans are washed out, odor-free and inspected before food loads, and our drivers are trained on FSMA Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food requirements.

On recurring lanes we can place a trailer at your facility for live pre-loading. Ask for a dedicated freight program when you request your quote.
