Dry Van freight
Enclosed trailers carrying non-perishable boxed and palletized freight like retail goods, paper, and packaged products — the most common and accessible freight for CDL-A drivers.
Dry van is the baseline for most freight and the easiest to get into, so it generally sits at the bottom of the specialized-freight pay scale.
Dry van is the backbone of trucking — the most common trailer on the road and the easiest freight to get into as a CDL-A driver. Because nearly every carrier runs vans, dry van offers the most openings, the widest range of schedules (OTR, regional, local, and dedicated), and a steady, no-touch path to build experience and miles.
If you're new, dry van is usually where you start; if you're experienced, it's where the steadiest, most predictable freight lives. Below are dry van jobs by city and route — pick one or get matched and we'll bring the offers to you.
