Selecting the right vehicle is one of the most important steps when creating a delivery. Choosing a vehicle that's too small may delay pickup or require your delivery to be reassigned, while selecting a larger vehicle than necessary may increase delivery costs.

This guide will help you choose the vehicle that best fits your shipment.

Best for:

Typical cargo capacity:

Choose a Sedan when your shipment can comfortably fit in the trunk and back seat of a passenger vehicle.

Best for:

Typical cargo capacity:

A midsize vehicle is ideal when your shipment is too large for a sedan but does not require a cargo van.

Best for:

Available bed sizes include:

Pickup trucks are a good option for items that are bulky, unusually shaped, or difficult to load into an enclosed vehicle.

Best for:

Typical cargo capacity:

Cargo vans are designed for larger shipments that require enclosed transportation and additional cargo space.

When in doubt, choosing a larger vehicle may help avoid delays caused by a shipment that will not fit.

Drivers are expected to hand-load and hand-unload shipments unless additional services are requested.

Additional services available during order creation include:

For Box Truck deliveries, additional equipment such as a lift gate or pallet jack may be available when requested. Availability may vary and should be confirmed before scheduling your delivery.

Inside delivery is also available when requested during order creation.

Good to Know

Drivers operate independently and do not have helpers. If your shipment requires additional labor, be sure to request the appropriate loading or unloading services when creating your delivery. If your shipment requires more than one person to load and unload, please have the necessary people at location to assist with handling the shipment.

Tip

Providing accurate dimensions and item descriptions helps ensure the correct vehicle is assigned the first time and reduces the likelihood of delivery delays.
