Fast loading, weather protection. We book curtain-side loads with shippers who value both, and negotiate for the premium that combination is worth.
Conestoga trailers solve a problem dry van and flatbed can't solve alone: freight that needs to be loaded fast from the side with a forklift, but also needs to stay covered and dry. Nerva Dispatch books Conestoga loads with shippers who actually value that combination, so the trailer's advantage shows up in the rate, not just the load time.
