A box truck, also known as a box van, cube van, bob truck, or cube truck, is a type of commercial vehicle used for hauling freight. It is a chassis cab truck with an enclosed cuboid-shaped cargo area, similar to a railway boxcar. The cargo area is completely separate from the cab and cannot be accessed from the interior. The difference between a box truck and a cargo van is that the cargo van is a one-piece (unibody), while a box truck is created by adding a cargo box to a chassis cab. Box trucks are typically 10-26 ft (3.0-7.9 m) in length and can range from Class 3 to Class 7 (12,500 lb. to 33,000 lb. gross vehicle weight rating) . They often have a garage door-like rear door that rolls up. Box trucks are often used by companies transporting home appliances or furniture, or are used as moving trucks which can be rented by individuals.
