What does 32 ft container truck mean in logistics?
Short answer
A truck with an enclosed 32 ft cargo box, the standard long-haul vehicle for volumetric cargo such as FMCG, electronics, apparel and e-commerce. It comes in single-axle (SXL) and multi-axle (MXL) versions with very different payloads.
The workhorse of Indian full-truckload lanes between metros and hubs. Buyers should always state SXL or MXL in a quote request, since the legal payload and the rate differ substantially. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
