What is a Box Truck?
Box trucks are cargo trucks with telltale cubic or rectangular-shaped trailers attached to them. They are used to transport all sorts of goods and products, including refrigerated food, due to their convenient, compact design.
Box trucks are also called:
- Box vans
- Cube vans
- Bob trucks
- Cube trucks
Most box trucks are owned and operated by trucking companies or courier businesses. If you were hit by one, then it is likely that we will have to file against a company. We are always ready for a challenge, though, so don’t worry about the details that come up in your case.
Box Truck Dangers & Hazards
Box trucks share many of the same dangers and hazards as their larger, commercial counterparts like 18-wheelers. The flaws in their design can make them more dangerous on the road than smaller vehicles and be more prone to causing accidents.
Compared to smaller vehicles, box trucks can have these flaws or hazards:
- More prone to tipping due to the boxy design of the storage area.
- Longer braking times due to heavy overall box truck weight.
- Larger blind spots that can cover entire vehicles in adjacent lanes.
- Risk of box trailer opening and spilling loose cargo onto the road.
