Delivery trucks

Delivery trucks are specialized commercial vehicles designed to transport goods or services directly to customers or other businesses. These trucks are equipped with a large, enclosed cargo space where goods or tools for a job can be stored. These items are protected against the elements, making delivery trucks ideal for sensitive items.

Not only do these commercial trucks feature a large cargo space, but they also offer a comfortable cab for the delivery driver. Delivery trucks also vary greatly in size, with cargo spaces to meet almost any need.

Parcel delivery contractors, manufacturers, and retailers rely on delivery trucks and vans to run the business. Some trucks and vans are designed to economically handle delivery routes with multiple stops. Larger box trucks are suited to accommodate heavy loads that require pallet jacks or a liftgate. Carefully selecting vehicle dimensions and features can ensure efficient and profitable deliveries.

With more service providers than ever offering delivery of parcels to homes and commercial locations, there are a multitude of delivery vehicles on the roads today. Each company may employ different vehicles in its fleet, using the type best-suited for the job.

One of the most common types of delivery vehicle is the walk-in truck. This is the type used by major delivery companies like UPS and FedEx for local drop-offs and pick-ups. As the name implies, walk-in trucks are tell enough for an adult of average height to walk through the cargo compartment. A rear doorway, as well as a smaller door open to the driver's cab, provide access to the cargo area. Walk-in trucks are tall, increasing the amount of space available for storing parcels.
