Our Fleet of Trailers Are the Standard
MX Logistics operates a fleet of 48′ and 53′ trailers, most have liftgates. Every trailer is owned and managed as part of our asset-based fleet, giving us direct control over their quality and availability. Our trailers are specifically designed with features to enhance the security and smooth transit of your cargo:
- Logistic posts: These allow us to secure your freight firmly using load locks or straps, preventing movement during transit.
- Air-ride suspension: This shock-absorbing system provides a smooth journey for your goods.
- Liftgates: These make loading and unloading seamless, even when a loading dock isn’t available.
Liftgate-equipped trailers are a game-changer in how businesses transport freight. Studies show they significantly reduce manual labor, lower the risk of injury for handlers and help minimize unnecessary transfers of your cargo.
Our liftgate trailers make loading and unloading easier, safer and possible anywhere. No dock required!
Whether it’s one straight truck or a full 53’ liftgate trailer, MX Logistics has the team and equipment to make it happen. Our entire fleet is outfitted with cutting-edge, real-time tracking systems. These systems provide a continuous stream of data on mileage, fuel efficiency and route performance. With this comprehensive visibility, our team can coordinate every shipment with precision and reduce risks. We ensure your assets arrive not just transported, but managed with complete confidence.

The Right Rig for the Gig
At MX Logistics, we have a diverse fleet of equipment designed for various shipping needs. We’re experts at matching the perfect vehicle and equipment to your project, ensuring efficient and reliable transport. Take a look below at some of our most frequently requested assets:
48′ & 53′ Trailers
These are the industry standard for transporting palletized freight. Ideal for general freight, these trailers are fully enclosed, protecting your cargo from weather and theft. The 53’ trailer is the most common, offering maximum legal length for freight, while the 48’ version is used in tighter situations.
Dry Van VS Reefer Van
When it comes to enclosed trailers, dry vans and reefer vans are the most common, but they serve very different purposes.
Dry vans are your standard enclosed trailers, perfect for transporting non-perishable goods like electronics, machinery or fixtures. They keep your cargo protected from weather and theft but they don’t offer any temperature control.
Reefer vans (short for refrigerated vans) are similar in appearance but they’re equipped with a built-in cooling systems. These are essential for hauling temperature-sensitive goods like produce, dairy, meat and pharmaceuticals.
According to DAT Freight & Analytics, van and reefer loads slipped 0.3% and 3.1% in April 2025, while flatbed loads rose 2.5%.
If it just needs to stay dry, go with a dry van. If it needs to stay cool, choose a reefer.
Flatbed Trailer
They allow for loading from the top, sides or rear, making them ideal for construction materials, machinery or large equipment. Flatbeds are open-deck trailers with no sides or roof. Also perfect for oversized or irregularly shaped freight.
Conestoga Trailer (Cover Wagon)
A Conestoga combines the protection of a dry van with the flexibility of a flatbed. It has a retractable tarp system that covers the cargo but can be easily rolled back for side or crane loading. This is a great option for freight that needs both protection and easy access.

Step Deck Trailer (Drop Deck)
Similar to flatbeds but feature a lower deck to allow for taller cargo. These are used when the load exceeds the height limits of standard flatbeds and need to stay within legal limits for road travel.
Sprinter Van / Cargo Van
Compact and fast, sprinter vans (AKA cargo vans) are perfect for urgent, small deliveries, especially in cities. If you’ve ever spotted an Amazon Prime, FedEx or UPS truck on the road, you’ve seen one in action! These are ideal for last-mile delivery or expedited freight, they offer flexibility and speed for lightweight shipments. Excellent to expedite freight.
Straight Truck (Box Truck)
A straight truck has a cargo area permanently attached to the cab. These trucks are ideal for LTL (less-than-truckload) shipments, residential moves and local deliveries. They’re a go-to option for jobs that don’t require a full-sized trailer. ST is ideal for smaller, lighter shipments. Operating costs are also lower than a tractor trailer.
Each vehicle serves a unique purpose in solving specific freight challenges. If you’re not sure which one suits your needs, our team at MX Logistics can guide you through selecting the best match for your job. From oversized machinery to last-minute deliveries, we’ve got the right truck and the right team to assist you.
