Service 01 / Dry Van
Dry Van dispatch
Enclosed trailer freight — the most loads, all 48 states. The backbone of American freight.
Rates vary by state, lane, equipment, load type, market conditions, deadhead and negotiated rate, and are not guaranteed. Weekly gross is an estimate based on about 2,500–3,000 miles per week, before fuel, dispatch fees, insurance and other operating costs. It is not a guarantee of earnings — actual revenue varies by market, lanes, load availability, equipment and negotiated rates.

Yes. Tell us your home base and radius and we'll build weekly loops that get you home on your schedule.
We do. Fewer shippers accept 48', so we pre-qualify every load before quoting you.
Starter is 5% per load dispatched with no monthly fee. Professional is a flat $300 per truck per month. Enterprise fleets get custom pricing.
Never. Every load is sent to you for approval before it's booked.
At typical freight rates of $2.00 – $3.00 / mile, a dry van carrier dispatched by Apex Truckin can gross an estimated $7,500 – $8,500 per week before fuel, dispatch fees and other operating costs. This is an estimate, not a guarantee — actual revenue depends on the state, lane, load type, market conditions, deadhead and the rates our dispatchers negotiate.
