Why curtainsiders are so efficient and economical:
Curtainsiders are a great example of a more efficient way of freight shipping, they allow us to provide the safer protection of your goods, but also offer faster loading and unloading so your freight is more likely to stay on schedule. With a curtainsider, you get the protection of a dry van, with the convenience of a flat deck.

The benefits of the Icon Logistics network:
With our curtainsiders fleet, we operate a shared user network – our curtainsiders work within the wider Icon Logistics operation – so you get smart, efficient planning to ensure maximum load efficiency. A shared user network allows Icon Logistics to plan different customers work into a single delivery cycle, reducing empty kilometres, fuel consumption and labour costs, allowing Icon to offer an economic advantage to our customers.
