What truck do I need?

Answer five questions about the freight and this narrows the five common equipment types down to the one that suits it, and tells you why. At the end it hands the answers to a quote request so you do not type them twice.

A dry van, a refrigerated trailer, a flatbed loaded with metal bundles and a box truck parked side by side in a yard with mountains behind.

A recommendation from what you entered, not a booking. Loading access, commodity and lane can all change the answer, which is why the quote request carries your answers over.

Interior figures are nominal. Wheel wells, bulkheads, reefer equipment, load bars and individual trailer build all reduce usable space. Flatbed height is open, so height limits come from legal and permit rules rather than the trailer. These calculators are for planning and estimating. Carrier rules, classification and usable capacity vary by carrier, equipment and commodity.
