Here's FedExCC's requirements for a C unit, and I believe others are similar.
Vehicle Specifications C Unit
Unit must be able to legally scale 5,000-pound payload
Box floor must be dock high, 48-52" from the ground
Inside dimensions must be 90" wide x 92" high
Rear door opening must be minimum 88" high, 85" wide (roll up or swing doors are optional)
Safety support legs at the rear of the frame of the unit (minimum rating 25,000 pounds)
Legal sleeper between cab and box
While they don't REQUIRE it, I believe the inside width being at least 96 inches is critical because a standard pallet is 48 inches across, therefore, to get 2 side by side, you need at least 96 inches. Otherwise, you would severely limit the freight you could take.
