Common questions
Is conestoga the same as dry van?
No. Conestoga keeps open-deck loading flexibility but adds rolling-tarp protection. Interior dimensions and loading constraints are different from a van.
Can conestoga handle oversized freight?
Some conestoga freight can be oversized, but the curtain system creates practical width and height limits that need review.
