Straight Truck
Straight Truck
A Straight Truck, also knows as a box truck, is used for transporting cargo in tighter, less accommodating areas. Unlike tractor-trailers, straight trucks do not have a separate cab and trailer. Instead they have a single, integrated body that combines the cab and the cargo compartment.
