Rent or lease a 53' dry van trailer in Calhoun — a fully enclosed, weatherproof trailer for general freight, palletized goods, and retail distribution, available by the day or under a standing lease.
No obligation. We'll follow up with real options, not a sales pitch.
Calhoun's freight has a specific shape — bulk fiber and other raw material coming into plants like Mohawk Industries' South Industrial Blvd headquarters, and pallets of carpet, laminate, and vinyl flooring going back out to distributors nationwide. That outbound side is dry van freight almost by default: palletized, weatherproof, and needing a fully enclosed 53-foot box rated up to 45,000 pounds to move product from Calhoun's plants to distribution centers across the country. With I-75 running straight through town at exits 315-317 and US 41 paralleling it, a provider serving that corridor can reach plants along McDaniel Station Road or US 41 without routing equipment up through Atlanta traffic.

Renting a dry van fits a single haul, a short-term capacity crunch, or testing a new lane before committing to equipment. Rentals are usually billed by the day or week with no long-term obligation, which is why they're common for owner-operators and small carriers covering a load their own fleet can't handle, or larger fleets absorbing a seasonal freight spike.
Leasing puts a dry van on your fleet for months or years under one agreement, typically at a lower effective daily rate than repeated rentals — and often with maintenance built in. It's the more common choice for a standing route or dedicated account where the capacity need isn't going away.

Most rental and leasing providers require at least two years in business, so a brand-new authority has limited options. If your company is established but runs a small fleet hauling for Calhoun's flooring manufacturers, providers do work with operations your size, and each one sets its own credit and approval standards. We can compare your request against several of them and tell you which ones fit.
For the outbound side, yes — palletized carpet, laminate, and vinyl flooring headed out to distributors is dry van freight almost by default. Bulk raw material coming into the plants is more often a flatbed load.
