Enclosed Equipment Built for Your Freight
53-Foot Dry Van Trailers
This is the go-to choice for heavy, large-scale B2B shipping. These fully enclosed trailers carry up to 46,000 lbs and easily fit 26 standard pallets along the floor.
It’s exactly what you need for moving big volumes of retail goods, commercial furniture, or non-perishable items that have to stay completely dry.
- 05
26-Foot Box Trucks with Liftgates
Need a delivery where a massive semi-truck just won’t fit? Our box trucks handle up to 8,000 lbs. Because they come equipped with hydraulic liftgates, they are the perfect solution for dropping pallets right at ground level for retail storefronts, small warehouses, or office buildings without a loading dock.
- 06
Expedited Sprinter Vans
When the clock is ticking, sprinter vans are your best bet. They hold up to 3,500 lbs (roughly 1 to 4 pallets) and bypass weigh stations entirely.
If you have an emergency part or high-value items that need to move door-to-door immediately without any terminal layovers, this is the way to go.

How We Calculate Your Enclosed Freight Quote
Customized quotes based on your exactly needs
We provide flexible, on-demand shipping using real-time market rates. Because the freight market changes daily, your quote is customized based on exactly what you need at the moment you call us.
Several factors determine your exact rate:
- Market Demand: Fuel prices, seasonal shipping trends, and the current number of available trucks in the Knoxville region.
- Your Shipment Details: The weight, dimensions, and the specific equipment required (such as a 53-foot dry van versus an expedited sprinter van). We also factor in special requests, like high-value freight or locations requiring a liftgate.
- Timing and Route: How fast the load needs to move, the final destination, and how close an empty truck is to your pickup location.
Because these details interact in real-time, shipping rates for the exact same route can shift from one day to the next. Connecting directly with our team at (865) 922-2447 ensures you get the most accurate and fair price available today.

Questions About Our Enclosed Shipping?
Do you handle LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping?
No, we stick strictly to dedicated, full truckload (FTL) and direct door-to-door shipments. This guarantees your freight never shares trailer space with another company, which prevents unnecessary stops, annoying delays, and lost items at transfer terminals.
Can your trucks deliver to locations without a loading dock?
Absolutely. We can send out commercial box trucks equipped with hydraulic liftgates and heavy-duty pallet jacks. The driver can safely lower your freight right to the ground, making storefront or office deliveries a breeze.
How fast can you dispatch a sprinter van in the local area?
Thanks to our local carrier network and our proximity to the major highways, we can usually have an expedited sprinter van dispatched within hours of your call to handle those sudden, time-critical emergencies.
What types of freight do you NOT handle?
To keep our operations moving smoothly and safely, we don’t ship hazardous materials (Hazmat) that require placards. We also pass on residential moves, refrigerated produce, or any loads where the driver is required to manually load or unload the truck themselves.
Do you offer real-time tracking for enclosed shipments?
Yes. We monitor your shipment from the moment the trailer is sealed until it arrives at the destination. You don’t have to log into a confusing portal or chase down a driver; our team handles the tracking and gives you direct updates so you always know exactly where your cargo is.
What is the difference between a dry van and enclosed transport?
They are actually the same thing in the commercial freight world. A “dry van” is just the industry term for a standard, fully enclosed box trailer that keeps your freight dry and protected from the weather. If your goods are on standard pallets and can’t get wet, a dry van is exactly what you need.
How much cargo insurance coverage do your carriers have?
We require every carrier in our network to carry a minimum of $100,000 in cargo insurance. If you are moving high-value commercial freight that requires higher limits, just let our team know ahead of time. We can easily arrange for increased coverage to make sure your investment is fully protected.
How far in advance do I need to book an enclosed truck?
While we excel at handling last-minute capacity crunches and can often find a truck within the same day for local runs, booking 24 to 48 hours in advance is always best. This gives us the time to vet the absolute best carrier and secure the fairest rate for your load.
