Curtainside Trailer FAQ

Is a curtainside trailer considered an open or closed trailer for freight purposes?

Curtainside trailers are considered enclosed for weather protection, but they do not meet the same security standards as a locked dry van. Many shippers and brokers classify them as open-side trailers for load securement and cargo liability purposes. Verify insurance and cargo requirements before accepting loads that specify 'dry van only.'
