Why drivers choose dry van

Dry van keeps the job simple. You are not tarping in the rain or watching a reefer unit overnight. You hook, you roll, you deliver. For a lot of drivers that predictability is the whole point.

It is also the easiest equipment to find work in. Volume moves everywhere, which means more carriers, more lanes, and more leverage when you want to change seats.

Dry van pay and how to raise it

Dry van sits at the base of the equipment pay scale, but the range inside it is wide. Dedicated accounts, drop and hook networks, and no touch freight often pay better than they first appear because your unpaid time drops. What you earn per week depends as much on how you spend your hours as on the rate per mile.

Experience levels we match

Dry van is where most new CDL holders start, and the on ramp is real. It is also where many veterans stay by choice, running dedicated lanes with predictable home time.

What you need

A Class A CDL covers most dry van work. Some regional and local accounts hire Class B drivers. Requirements are generally the lightest of any equipment type.

FAQ

Common Questions

Does dry van pay less than reefer or flatbed?

Usually a bit less per mile, though a good dedicated dry van account with steady miles can out earn a mediocre reefer seat. Total weekly pay matters more than the rate alone.

Is dry van a good place to start?

It is the most common starting point. The work is straightforward and the number of carriers hiring gives you room to find a fit.

What is drop and hook?

You drop your loaded trailer and pick up a preloaded one instead of waiting to unload. It keeps you rolling and is common on dedicated dry van accounts.
