Box truck

A box truck—also known as a box van, cube van, bob truck[1] or cube truck—is a chassis cab truck with an enclosed cuboid-shaped cargo area.[2] On most box trucks, the cabin is separate to the cargo area; however some box trucks have a door between the cabin and the cargo area. 1920s-1960s Box trucks tend to be larger than 1920s-1960s panel trucks and smaller than 1920s-1960s semi-trailer trucks with movable dry-van semi-trailers. Regular Cab Box trucks tend to be larger than cargo vans and smaller than 2-door day cab tractor-trailers with movable dry-van semi-trailers. Crew Cab Box trucks tend to be larger than crew vans and smaller than crew cab tractor-trailers with movable dry-van semi-trailers.[3] They are commercial vehicles, often called straight or cube trucks. They are used for moving goods and typically range from 10 to 26 feet in length.

The difference between a box truck and a 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.[3][4]

Examples of box trucks: Isuzu NPR, Ford F-750, Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD.
