I run as an independent not signed on to any company but what I have found is this. All the shippers I deal with do not care how old my van is. Up until jan. I ran a 1989 Ford van that was replaced with a 2000 dodge van. I have never had any problems with getting insurance on these vans. As far as impressing the shipper goes I have found that getting there freight where it needs to be when it needs to be there is much better than shiny new vans.
