older cargo van 4 hire

is there a company out there that will accept an older cargo van?
i have a 1988 G-20 W/a 6.2 diesel the van is like new w/only
40,455 miles. I have experience in the expediting field w/2 of the larger companys, I ended up loosing my 99 ford E-350 this last winter due to the slow season and high payments/high fuel prices, I recently purchased the 88 chevy, and was thinking about giving it another shot.. minus the van payment!! any info
would be appreciated... thnx psycho

RE: older cargo van 4 hire

Howdy, Psycho, and welcome to Expediters Online!

As far as your question goes, the only suggestions i can make are these:

i know that AutoQuick and CTX accept older vehicles, but i'm not real sure just how old. If you've dropped a new engine into the van, you need to let them know that IT isn't that old!

Try to find a smaller local company, that would run you around your state. This would allow you to be home, yet still be out there, doing what you love.

Get your OWN customers by looking for companies that regularly ship van loads. With your previous experience, you know what kind of businesses use van services.

Hope this helps!

*********
Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!
