Straight Truck in E-Commerce & Last Mile Delivery
E-commerce trucking is the fastest-growing sector in the transportation industry, driven by the explosive growth of online shopping. This sector includes two main segments: linehaul (moving freight between fulfillment centers on semi-trucks) and last-mile delivery (using box trucks and sprinter vans to deliver packages to homes and businesses). Amazon, FedEx, and UPS together operate over 100,000 delivery vehicles and thousands of semi-trucks.
Straight trucks (also called single-unit trucks) are Class 6-8 vehicles where the cab and cargo area are mounted on the same chassis — there's no trailer to hook or unhook. Think food service delivery trucks, beverage distributors, construction material haulers, and furniture delivery vehicles.
