Refrigerated Trucks
Refrigerated or reefer trucks are built with a refrigeration unit attached to the cargo area. These specialized trucks are used to transport cargo that needs to be kept at a specific temperature during shipping. Many of the units that refrigerate the cargos of these vehicles come with their own power source that is separate from the vehicle’s, which follows strict environmental guidelines. With many different sizes and even multiple zone refrigerated trucks available, you can register with COOP today to see what is available in Columbia right now!
Box Trucks
Box trucks include both a cab for the driver and an enclosed cargo area on the same chassis. These cargo vehicles take their name from their boxy appearance, and can also be called straight trucks due to their straight frame. Some cabins are separated from their cargo areas, while others may be open. Box trucks are often smaller and more maneuverable than other cargo trucks. This makes box trucks a great option for deliveries into areas that have smaller streets, busy roads, or tight parking spaces and availability. Often used for hauling appliances or furniture, box trucks are an excellent choice for smaller or medium-sized loads.
Stake Trucks
Stake trucks take their name from the removable stakes on the sides of the truck that are fitted into sockets. Built into a heavy-duty flatbed truck, these removable sides on stake trucks make them an easy option to transport large or heavy items, because this allows them to be loaded and unloaded from the sides. Stake trucks can be for heavy equipment, feed, livestock, and cargo, or nearly any type of cargo that you can load onto the back. With models available in many different sizes, the maximum weight capacity of stake trucks is related to the size. A 10 ft stake truck can carry 2,035 lbs, while a 20 ft stake truck can carry 3,345 lbs.
Isuzu
Isuzu is renowned for building some of the best diesel engines in the world for medium-duty trucks. The low cab forward design of Isuzu box trucks gives them better maneuverability and enhanced visibility compared to other brands. Known for being safe, tough, reliable, and built to last, Isuzu trucks are used around the world for many different jobs because of their performance. With different models like the NPR, NQR, NRR, and FTR, there is likely an Isuzu truck out there for whatever you need.
Thermo King
Thermo King has led the refrigerated transportation industry since the day the company brought the very first one to market. Their current models are built with fuel saver technology to reduce energy consumption, which provides increased cost savings over other brand refrigeration units. Download the COOP app today to check availability for anything from a 6 ft truck with the V-200 or B-100 unit up to the 22 ft truck with the V-800 MAX unit.
Freightliner
One of the best-selling and most widely recognized truck brands in the transportation industry, Freightliner is renowned across the world for its highly dependable trucks of all sizes. While best known for their long-haul tractors, Freightliner manufactures vehicles that can fit nearly any transportation or cargo need. The M2 and SD models are some of Freightliner’s best trucks, while the 114SD is a favorite among their customers because of the reliability and durability they offer. Whatever model of Freightliner truck you need for your business, the COOP app can help you find the right fit today!
Hino
With excellent mileage and excellent longevity, Hino trucks are known for breaking down far less often than competitors. This comes as no surprise to those who know the history of Hino, as it is a subsidiary of The Toyota Motor Group of Tokyo, a company well known for its commitment to manufacturing excellence. Hino trucks increase your uptime, and their high fuel efficiency can help reduce fuel consumption costs. As America’s fastest-growing medium-duty truck brand, either their L or XL series models will have exactly what you need to get the job done.
Scania
Owned by the Volkswagen Group, Scania dates back to the 1800s and has become the go-to option globally for many long-haul truckers around the world who carry heavy cargo for thousands of miles every trip. Their G-series trucks are loved for their versatile ability to navigate congested urban terrain and the rural countryside alike with ease. The Scania R-series tractors are sought out for their higher horsepower and technological innovations. The Scania model 620 is known for having higher fuel efficiency if fuel costs are at the top of your concerns. As one of the top global brands for heavy-duty trucks, the Scania group from Sweden is loved by engineers and drivers alike.
Delivery Services
Trucks are known around the world for being dependable and tough, but modern advances in fuel efficiency and power have also made many trucks now also very fuel-efficient. Peterbilt brand trucks have more alternative fuel options on the market than any other brand. Peterbilt and other brands are now even developing electric engine trucks and tractors, working to make fuel costs a thing of the past. No matter what types of goods you deliver, there is likely an efficient, affordable, and dependable option available on the COOP app for you.
Frozen Foods
If there is one single aspect of delivering frozen foods that is the most important, it is ensuring that the food remains frozen until the moment you deliver it to your customer. Drivers need to know that they have dependable refrigeration units that will keep their frozen food as cold as when they picked up the cargo. With Thermo King-equipped reefer trucks available on the COOP platforms, you can choose from the seasonally available options to ensure your frozen foods always arrive at their final destination in pristine condition.
Produce
Whether you are delivering produce from farm to market, distribution facility to a grocery store, or are part of one of the new companies that deliver fresh ingredients for meals every day, the vehicles that deliver produce are extremely important. Whether you need a stake truck, refrigerated reefer truck with wooden floors for enhanced air circulation, or any other type of truck, COOP has what you need to get your produce delivered fresh!
Final Mile Delivery
Final mile delivery is just as important to the shipping process as the anchor runner in a relay race. Even if the rest of the supply chain has been late, you will be the face that the customer remembers for being late. Because final mile delivery can take you to so many different locations and environments, it is extremely important to make sure the correct type of vehicle is used. Box trucks and straight trucks can be an excellent choice for final mile delivery because they can traverse any terrain and have better fuel efficiency than other, larger cargo trucks.
Construction
As an industry full of different sized jobs and job sites, the construction industry needs truck rentals of all shapes and sizes for the different equipment, machinery, and tools they may need.
