OnTime Express strictly follows the rules and requirements for advanced quality of its services. Therefore, the company selects only the most reliable types of trucks – we work with truck types such as dry vans and reefer trucks. Each type ensures safe and unharmed shipping of goods, especially perishable products

Truck Types

Dry Van Trucks

Dry van shipping is a transportation method whereby the freight remains safe and untouched due to full enclosure.

The perks of using dry vans:

  • Dry vans can carry any freight and keep it in good condition because of the equipment provided by companies like OnTime Express
  • Dry vans provides food-grade trailers that enable safe shipment of food products
  • This type of vans is highly sustainable and durable thanks to its versatility
  • Different types of goods are transported using dry vans – thus, drivers have more options as they choose the truck
  • Dry vans are affordable and cost-effective
Truck Types

Reefer Van Trucks

Reefer trucks use refrigerated trailers – “reefer” is a slang term for refrigerator – and are utilized to prevent perishables from deteriorating.

Among the advantages one can have using reefer trucks, there are:

  1. On top of keeping perishables safe, reefers deliver goods faster due to the decreased number of stops the drivers make at cold chain warehouses
  2. Reefers transport multiple types of freight, including pharmaceuticals, foods, the military, and hazmat (dangerous goods).
  3. Reefer trucks’ rates per mile are normally 15-20% higher than dry van rates.
