Dry Van in Automotive & Auto Parts Hauling
Automotive trucking encompasses the transport of finished vehicles, auto parts, components, and raw materials for the vehicle manufacturing supply chain. Car hauler drivers operate specialized multi-level trailers carrying 8-10 vehicles per load, while parts haulers use dry vans and flatbeds for just-in-time delivery to assembly plants. The auto industry operates on extremely tight schedules — a single late truck can shut down a production line costing the manufacturer $50,000+ per hour.
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.
