The Quick Guide to Delivery Vehicle Types Used by Delivery Services

Pick up and delivery services use different types of vehicles that are used for jobs depending on the material to be transported. This saves them the cost that they’d otherwise incur if they used the wrong vehicle type. There’s a lot of choice and companies don’t need to have every vehicle type in their fleet. In fact, businesses such as Haultail, that use the freelance model do not need to maintain a fleet and yet, can offer an excellent range of options to customers; this is the beauty of crowdsourcing. 

Our drivers help our business to fulfill regular and irregular demands with respect to vehicle choice and type, in return they get an opportunity to earn good money doing something they love. 

Here are the most commonly used delivery vehicle types 

The walk-in truck is a common and popular delivery vehicle type used by courier companies, big and small for dropping off parcels and picking up stuff. Walk-in trucks allow adults to easily stand tall and walk. These vehicles are spacious and enable smooth operations.

Cargo vans are popular for jobs that do not require the spaciousness of walk-in trucks. They allow delivery companies to access lanes that are too small for larger vehicles. Because cargo vans are used by people, and not just as commercial vehicles, it becomes easier for businesses offering gigs to add these vehicles to their roster. 

Box trucks are easily distinguished by their shape, and the separate driver cabin, which is detached from the cargo area. These vehicles, apart from offering excellent space for advertising your business, are far easier to maneuver as compared to trailer trucks. The storage container of a box truck is safe for products stored, and there’s very little chance of a break-in or vandalism. 

Jeeps are extremely handy for reaching areas at an altitude or places where the roads aren’t in a good condition. Rural areas are often serviced by these rugged vehicles.
