box truck
A box truck, also known as a cube truck, cube van, or box van, is a truck with a cube-shaped cargo area. They usually range in size from 14 feet to 24 feet in length, with smaller or larger ones existing but being rare in North America. They usually have a garage-like rear door that rolls up. On some box trucks, the cargo area is accessible from the cabin via a small door.
Box trucks are usually used by companies that need to haul appliances or furniture. They are also used as moving trucks which can be rented from companies such as U-Haul or Ryder.[1]
In North America, Ford and Chevrolet/GMC are the most common chassis manufacturers to which various producers attach the box cargo holds.
A box truck is sometimes mistakenly called a cargo van. A cargo van is a regular van without rear seats and usually without side windows in the cargo area.
