Shipping Services
- Dry vans are closed, sealed and locked, protecting your freight from weather and theft!
- Dry vans are the most common trailer type on the road, meaning they are widely available anywhere in the U.S. or cross-border to Canada & Mexico through our network of over 50,000+ carriers!
- Because of their abundance and lack of specialized equipment like climate control, dry vans are a cost-effective option for goods that are not sensitive to temperature!

Ciao Logistics powered by Ace Forwarding provides drop trailer services! Ciao! will evaluate your pain points & offer solutions to create greater efficiency via a drop trailer program!
Drop trailer services allow for a trailer to be left at a specific location with the intention for another truck to pick it up later! Drop & hook of the trailer is always preferred!!
When you book drop trailer service, a carrier will detach their trailer at your facility, giving you added time & flexibility in the dock! You can move, load or unload the trailer whenever you like to keep your operations running smoothly!
If your facilities are exceptionally busy or you have limited staff available to help with the loading or unloading process, drop trailers can alleviate some of your headaches!!
Benefits of Drop Trailer:
- Drop trailers can help you avoid detention & fees since the carrier is able to leave your facility after the trailer is dropped off!
- If you operate a busy or congested facility, utilizing drop trailer services allows you to keep trailers & drivers out of the way!!
- Drop trailers give you added scheduling flexibility so you can unload when your team is on hand!
