What is a 26 ft Dock-High Box Truck?

A dock-high box truck (also known as a straight truck or dry freight van) is a single-chassis commercial motor vehicle with a 16 ft to 26 ft enclosed cargo body and a cargo bed floor set 48 to 52 inches above the ground—matching standard industrial warehouse loading docks. In non-CDL commercial freight, 26-foot straight trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 25,999 lbs or less are the standard configuration for Amazon Relay, regional LTL expedited freight, and local commercial deliveries.
