Filters to use for box truck loads
- Pick “Box Truck”, “Straight Truck”, “Cargo Van” or “Sprinter Van” under “Vehicle / trailer type”.
- Turn on “Liftgate required” if your truck has one; the filter then shows loads whose delivery needs a liftgate.
- Use “Max pallets” and “Max weight” to match your box size.
- Choose “LTL” or “Partial” under “Load type” for local and regional multi-drop work.
What sets the rate on a box truck load
Each listing shows the posted rate and, where miles are given, the rate per mile. What moves it: liftgate and inside-delivery work, the number of drops, appointment windows, and local versus regional runs.
Short local loads are often better judged per hour than per mile.
Before you book
- Most box trucks up to 26,000 lb GVWR can be driven without a CDL.
- Check liftgate and pallet-jack requirements before booking.
- Box truck carriers still need their own authority and insurance for for-hire interstate freight.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a CDL to haul box truck loads?
Not for a straight truck with a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,000 lb or less, as long as it does not carry placarded hazmat or 16 or more passengers.
How do I find loads for my box truck?
Open the USA load board, pick “Box Truck” or “Straight Truck”, set your city as “Origin city”, and use “Liftgate required”, “Max pallets” and “Load type” to match your truck. Contact the poster with a paid plan.
Are there local box truck loads?
Yes. Set both “Origin city” and “Destination city” in your metro area, or search by your city and sort by distance and rate.
Are broker contacts included in the trial?
Broker and shipper contact details on a load are shown only to members with a fully paid, active subscription. A trial gives access to the platform but not to load contact details.
