Types of Pup Trailers

Pup trailers refer to a type of trailer configuration often used in the transportation industry. They are a shorter trailer that are often pulled in tandem, offering slightly more cargo space than a typical 53′ dry van. They are also pulled as single units to assist with deliveries in less accessible locations such as large cities. This blog will go over 6 of the most common types of pup trailers.
