THE BEST FREE LOAD BOARDS FOR SPRINTER VANS
Though the freight industry is largely dominated by large semi-trucks that carry containers from place to place, they aren’t the only vehicles used to carry freight down the road. There are tons of other options to choose from including sprinter vans, which are ideal for moving smaller quantities of goods.
Sprinter vans are a great choice in lots of different situations and free load boards that can connect shippers with carriers who operate these vans make it easier for shippers to get their loads shipped and carriers to find new loads. So what is a sprinter van, when should you use them, and what are the best free load boards for sprinter vans?
WHAT IS A SPRINTER VAN AND WHY USE ONE?
A sprinter van is a type of commercial vehicle that’s bigger than a standard cargo van but still much smaller than the semi-trucks you see driving down the highway. They’re often used to transport smaller loads that don’t need a full semi-truck and can be called upon if a shipper needs to transport a load at a moment's notice.
Sprinter vans have become increasingly popular throughout the freight industry because of their smaller size and superior flexibility. They’re also more fuel efficient and easily maneuverable making them ideal for delivering loads directly to businesses in tight, high-traffic areas.
Sprinter vans are also great for carrying perishable goods because they can be easily equipped with refrigeration units and are commonly used for expedited shipping because they are faster than semi-trucks and can more easily deliver directly to storefronts.
