Shipping from Cincinnati? A Box Truck may be just the Ticket

For delivery in the Cincinnati region and beyond, Redkey Express uses cars, box trucks, stake beds, cargo vans, curtainside box trucks and flatbeds, so the most appropriate vehicle for your needs is always available for your use.

But we find our box trucks–capable of carrying up to 12 skids and equipped with lift gates and pallet jacks for unloading–are the most cost-effective choice for most of our customers. Box truck Cincinnati delivery can have substantial advantages over less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping.

Delivering by Box Truck from the Queen City

Box trucks are so-called for their box-like shape, but are also known as cube trucks, cube vans, box vans or rolling toasters. Our Cincinnati region delivery box trucks can haul up to 23,000 pounds     . Being smaller, with smaller engines, they can transport your goods with better fuel efficiency than semi-trailers. That saves you time and money, and helps the environment as well.

For customers needing us to make frequent deliveries with fast turnarounds, Redkey Express always recommends the economical box truck. For drops in tight urban and suburban areas, this agile vehicle allows for easy delivery.

Benefits to Box Truck Delivery

Other box trucks benefits include:

• Cost savings: The more expensive operation of a big RedKey rig will be reflected in what you pay, and we might have to charge more to offset the potential of not filling the trailer. Cheaper to operate, box trucks usually translate into savings.
• Reduced liability risk: With Redkey Express LTL delivery, multiple drops might need to be made before your cargo is delivered. When it makes economic sense, a dedicated truck is always safer for your freight.
• Improved service for your customers: There are no drops between freight loading and unloading with a box truck, which means faster delivery.
• More convenient for large volumes that don’t fill a semi-trailer: Redkey box trucks can handle surprisingly large loads. For customers shipping large volumes that won’t quite fill a trailer, we can offer quick, cost-effective delivery in a box truck.
• Ideal for a wide range of goods: Large, enclosed cargo spaces make box trucks perfect for shipping everything from parcels to perishables. These trucks haul newspapers, medical supplies, retail goods, furniture and large items every hour of every day around the US.
• Easy to monitor your cargo: Your cargo is the only cargo in the box truck, so the journey is from point A to point B. It’s easy to calculate an ETA because we always know where the truck is along the route.
• Straightforward pricing: Box truck pricing is simple. We charge a standard rate, no matter how much cargo you put in the truck.

When you have specific shipping needs, delivery by box truck can provide these additional benefits:

• The box truck cost per hundredweight is often lower.
• You can get a box truck more quickly (instead of an LTL) for the last mile, especially when a liftgate is required for bulky cargo.
• For e-commerce, box truck shipping offers needed flexibility.
