Box truck
open-in-new
<p>A box truck—also known as a box van, cube van, bob truck or cube truck—is a <a href="/facts/Chassis_cab/rqth6671">chassis cab</a> <a href="/facts/Truck/9GMJWsQU">truck</a> with an enclosed <a href="/facts/Cuboid/eLLKX4rh">cuboid</a>-shaped cargo area. On most box trucks, the <a href="/facts/Cabin_(truck)/9GMJWsQU">cabin</a> is separate to the cargo area; however some box trucks have a door between the cabin and the cargo area, box trucks tend to be larger than <a href="/facts/Cargo_van/kprf6QXL">cargo vans</a> and smaller than <a href="/facts/Tractor-trailer/oCse8FW9">tractor-trailers</a> with movable trailers. </p><p>The difference between a box truck and a <a href="/facts/Van/kprf6QXL">van</a> is that the cargo van is a one-piece (<a href="/facts/Unibody/WN09z8zF">unibody</a>), while a box truck is created by adding a cargo box to a <a href="/facts/Chassis_cab/rqth6671">chassis cab</a>. </p>
