Dry Van Trailer FAQ
What is the difference between a 48 ft and 53 ft dry van?
A 53 ft trailer is the national standard for OTR freight and holds up to 52 standard pallets. A 48 ft trailer has a shorter wheelbase and is used on routes with tighter dock access or where bridge law weight distribution is a concern. Most modern distribution centers are set up for 53 ft trailers.
What should I inspect when buying a used dry van trailer?
Check the floor for soft spots, rot, or broken floor boards — replacement is expensive. Inspect the roof for delamination, cracks, or water intrusion. Examine the rear door seals, hinges, and hardware. Look at the kingpin and fifth wheel plate for excessive wear. Check tire condition and the condition of the landing gear legs.
What is a Wabash DuraPlate and why does it matter?
DuraPlate is Wabash's proprietary composite sidewall panel — a steel-fiberglass-steel sandwich that is more dent-resistant and damage-tolerant than aluminum sidewalls. It is the industry standard for durability and resale value. DuraPlate trailers hold their value better than competing aluminum or corrugated steel designs.
