A curtain side truck

A curtain side truck (also known as a curtain-sider) is a type of commercial truck with a unique design that features curtains or fabric panels on the sides, which can be pulled back or slid open to provide easy access to the cargo area. The curtains are typically made of durable, weather-resistant material and are mounted on a frame, allowing for quick loading and unloading of goods.

This type of truck combines the benefits of an open flatbed truck (easy access) with the protection of a covered truck (protection from weather and theft). Curtain side trucks are commonly used for transporting goods that require protection but also need to be loaded or unloaded quickly, such as packaged goods, machinery, or furniture.

The flexibility and efficiency of curtain side trucks make them popular in various industries, especially in logistics and transportation.
