A dry van is a type of semi-trailer that’s fully enclosed to protect shipments from outside elements. Designed to carry palletized, boxed or loose freight, dry vans aren’t temperature-controlled (unlike refrigerated “reefer” units) and can’t carry oversized shipments (unlike flatbed trailers)

A flatbed is a trailer with a flattened hauling platform, and most can be loaded from the top, sides and rear. They come in several different styles with various features to handle everything from building materials and industrial equipment to aircrafts parts and mobile homes.

A lowboy flatbed is a semitrailer with a low bed, called a dropdeck. A single lowboy trailer has two drops that let the trailer sit close to the ground. One drop is just behind the gooseneck, and the other is in front of the wheels. Two-axle lowboy flatbed trailers have a maximum weight of 40,000 pounds and are rated for freight that measures 14 feet tall or less. These qualities make lowboy shipping ideal for moving oversized equipment
