What is a "box truck"?
A box truck is a type of truck with a large, enclosed cargo area shaped like a box. This design allows for secure and spacious storage of goods, protecting them from weather and damage during transport. Box trucks are commonly used for deliveries, moving, or transporting items that need to be kept secure. The cargo area is typically accessed through a rear door or a side door, depending on the truck. They are smaller than large trucks, making them more suitable for local deliveries and easier to maneuver in urban areas.
Examples
The moving company rented a box truck to transport furniture across town.
