I am a bit confused here, what does the shipper coming outside for have to do with the question?

I have been loaded a lot off dock with my straight truck and there were many times where I had to hand unload without a dock which would have been great to have a van or box truck.

If I had my way I would be in a sprinter. I compete directly with vans all the time, a lot of my loads are under 3000 with a majority of them under 2500, I don't think I have yet had a 9500lb load with my new company. I see a lot of straight trucks sitting in truck stops all the time, more often than not the sprinter has the advantage over the truck - it is called not having to deal with hours of service.
