Well if they don't want to believe someone who has been a van o/o for close to 20 years then I guess they want to learn for themselves. If that's the case why ask a question if you will only accept one answer? Go ahead with what you believe. It won't take long reading here to discover that most of the van and sprinter drivers have been talking about sitting and not getting the miles they used to. Why jump into something like that? You take someone with say 5-10 years experience and knowledge of the business and freight system like where to sit, where not to, when to move and when not and they tell you times are tough what makes you think you can jump out there with zero experience and make decent money. One guy actually showed his figures from last year and he only netted (to his pocket) 18 grand in a van. I'm not trying to bust your chops I'm just being honest. Bearcat would you ever think those companies have openings because they van operators they did have went under due to lack of revenue, went somewhere else hoping for more revenue, or upgraded trucks? Makes sense to me.
