Equipment Hauling
Straight trucks are broadly used by plumbing and construction companies among other contractors for the purpose of hauling work equipment. Since they come in heavy-duty specifications, they can be used to carry almost all equipment required by such companies, including heavy materials and tools.
Long Hauls
Straight trucks are also equipped with features that enable them to haul freight for relatively long distances. As long as the weight of the cargo does not exceed the required capacity, the performance of the truck is usually not affected. This could be hauls across Orlando or to the nearby cities.
Pick-up and Deliveries
Also, a lot of pick-up and delivery services use straight trucks to operate. They are used for the transportation of both dry and wet cargo. Since the straight trucks cannot maintain perishable cargo for long, they only transport wet cargo that does not need temperature regulation. Thrift stores, supermarkets, restaurants, electronic shops, and liquor stores are some examples of businesses that would benefit from straight trucks.
Moving Services
Straight trucks are also convenient for business owners in the moving industry. Different types and sizes of house furniture and appliances can be easily hauled via straight trucks. In addition to moving household items, straight trucks are also usually used to move office furniture.
Heavy Hauling
While smaller vehicles can be used to tow heavy cargo to a limited capacity, straight trucks can conveniently haul heavy-duty cargo. Cargo space is huge enough and the payload capacity can accommodate large and heavy freight.
