Where dry van fits
Dry van is the core option for non-temperature-controlled commercial freight that needs enclosed trailer capacity. DFS looks at the full move: origin, destination, loaded miles, freight weight, appointment windows and where the truck finishes.
Local pricing needs local context
A 30-mile Southern California move is not simply mileage multiplied by a long-haul rate. Warehouse dwell time, traffic, appointments, same-day repositioning and the next available load can matter more than distance alone.
A cleaner quote process
Start with the DFS planning engine using the actual cities or ZIP codes. If the move fits, build the detailed request with commodity, weight, pallet count, facilities, dates and accessorials so DFS can review the shipment before confirmation.
