The small truck, with curtain or box body, suits regional distribution and groupage: it carries more than a van but gets more easily into towns and to customers without a loading dock. Many have a tail lift, so loading and unloading need no forklift.

Reference dataset 2026.09.27-1
Small truck or semi-trailer?
For a few pallets and deliveries without a dock, the small truck. When the goods fill a good part of a semi-trailer, the standard curtainsider is usually better value.
Does every small truck have a tail lift?
No. If you have no dock or forklift, say so in your request so we assign a vehicle with a lift.
