North-South freight transport by road is a popular choice for many businesses and individuals due to its flexibility, door-to-door delivery, and reasonable cost. However, long-distance routes require selecting the right type of truck suitable for each type of goods to ensure safety, optimize costs, and meet deadlines. Below are the most common types of trucks currently available and how to choose the right one for your needs.
Small Trucks (500kg – 1 ton)
Small trucks are a suitable choice for light shipments or for moving within the city before entering the North-South route. With their small size, these trucks easily navigate narrow streets and residential areas, and are convenient for loading and unloading small items.
This type of truck is commonly used to transport:
Small household goods
Personal belongings when moving
Goods from online stores
Small trucks have the advantage of low rental costs and ease of maneuverability, but their large load capacity makes them unsuitable for large quantities of goods or excessively heavy items.
Medium Trucks (2 – 3.5 tons)
Medium trucks are a very popular choice for North-South freight transport due to their relatively large carrying capacity, suitable for a wide variety of goods. This type of vehicle is commonly used for:
Medium-scale cargo transport
Small warehouse or office relocation
Medium-volume business shipments
Medium-sized trucks have larger cargo beds, suitable for transporting goods weighing from a few hundred kilograms to several tons, while still offering flexibility for both urban and intercity travel.
Large trucks (5-8 tons)
When you need to transport large quantities of goods, bulky items, warehouse materials, or large furniture, large trucks are the right choice. With a spacious cargo bed and high payload capacity, this type of vehicle allows you to transport more goods in one trip, saving costs and time.
Large trucks are often used for:
Construction materials
Large quantities of warehouse goods
Heavy machinery and equipment
For long North-South routes, using large trucks reduces the number of trips and limits fuel and toll costs.
Heavy-Duty Trucks (10-15 tons or more)
For large, excessively heavy goods or continuous shipments in large batches, heavy-duty trucks are the optimal choice. These types of trucks can:
Carry exceptionally heavy loads
Serve large businesses and warehouses with large quantities of goods
Transport inter-provincial goods between North and South Vietnam on a full truckload basis
Heavy-duty trucks are typically container trucks, tractor-trailers, or specialized vehicles capable of carrying extremely large loads. Choosing this type optimizes cost per kilometer when the volume of goods increases.
Closed-box trucks
Closed-box trucks are one of the most popular choices for transporting goods between North and South Vietnam, especially for perishable goods. With enclosed cargo beds, goods are:
Protected from rain and sun
Minimized from external impacts
Easily arranged and padded with additional shock-absorbing materials
Enclosed cargo beds are suitable for fragile goods, electronics, furniture, cardboard boxes, and goods requiring clean storage.
Tarpaulin-covered trucks (with tarpaulin covers)
Tarpaulin-covered trucks are those with a detachable cargo bed covered with a tarpaulin, offering great flexibility in loading and unloading. This type is suitable for:
Bulky goods
Pallets, construction materials
Goods that do not require strict storage conditions
The advantage of tarpaulin-covered trucks is easy loading and unloading from both sides or the rear, saving time and effort.
Refrigerated Trucks
When transporting goods requiring temperature control, such as food, seafood, vegetables, or frozen goods, refrigerated trucks are the only option to ensure:
Stable temperature
Goods not damaged by high temperatures
Quality maintained even during long transport times
For the long North-South route, refrigerated trucks help maintain temperature and preserve goods better than regular trucks.
Choosing the right type of truck will help you:
Save costs: Choosing the right type of truck means you only pay for what is necessary, avoiding overloading or under-loading.
Ensure cargo safety: The right truck provides better protection for goods, minimizing vibration and impact.
Save time: Choosing the right type of truck allows for faster loading, unloading, and transportation.
Optimize delivery schedules: Ensure goods arrive on time, especially for consolidated or urgent shipments.
Conclusion
Choosing the right type of truck for North-South cargo transportation is a crucial step in ensuring safety, cost savings, and high efficiency in transportation operations. From light trucks to heavy trucks, from enclosed trucks to refrigerated trucks, each type has its own role and is suitable for different types of goods and transportation needs.
