@matchfreight.ai: Dry Van, Flatbed or Reefer — which one is better in 2026? Each trailer type has its advantages. Dry van is the easiest way to start and has loads everywhere. Flatbed can pay more but requires additional equipment and work securing freight. Reefer usually offers the highest rates, but also comes with extra operating costs due to the refrigeration unit. In March, dry van rates ranged from $2.21 to $2.84 per mile, flatbed from $2.33 to $3.02, and reefer from $2.58 to $3.43 per mile. The real key in today’s freight market is visibility and access to better loads. #trucking #freight #owneroperator #logistics #truckingtips
