Dry Van in Agriculture & Farm Trucking
Agriculture trucking encompasses the transport of grain, livestock, produce, feed, fertilizer, and farm equipment across the American heartland and beyond. This sector is deeply seasonal — harvest seasons in the Midwest and Great Plains create massive spikes in demand for hopper bottom trailers, grain trucks, and flatbeds. Drivers in agriculture often work for cooperatives, feed mills, ethanol plants, or independent farmers during peak periods.
Dry van is the backbone of American freight, hauling everything from retail goods to packaged foods inside fully enclosed 53-foot trailers. It accounts for roughly 70% of all truckload freight in the U.
