What is Dry Van Freight?
Dry van freight refers to shipments transported in an enclosed trailer — protecting goods from weather, debris, and theft. Dry vans are ideal for general freight that doesn’t require refrigeration or special handling, making them a reliable choice for many industries.
At American Guardian Freight, we match your shipment with the right carrier and equipment, ensuring efficient loading, secure transport, and timely delivery.
Dry van trailers are perfect for moving:
- Retail and consumer goods
- Food and beverage (non-refrigerated)
- Paper products and packaging
- Electronics and appliances
- Industrial and manufacturing supplies
- Palletized or boxed freight

What Is Full Truckload (FTL) Freight?
Full truckload freight, also known as FTL shipping, involves reserving an entire truck for a single shipment. Unlike less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments that combine cargo from multiple customers, FTL offers dedicated capacity, making it ideal for:
- Shipments weighing over 15,000 lbs
- Freight that occupies most or all of a trailer
- Time-sensitive deliveries
- High-value or fragile cargo
- Routes requiring minimal handling
Because the load travels directly from origin to destination without stops or transfers, FTL is the preferred mode for maximizing speed, security, and predictability.
