Is that what I should do...Just get decals on the doors???

You should do whatever you want to do since it's your vehicle. If you want to really emphasize your decision and perhaps company pride get every decal they can offer. If you just want to run freight get what's mandatory and be on your way. Bottom line, it's your choice to make.

The smallest that you can would be my recommendation to you...

By and large, most carriers will dispatch around a cargo van to keep a straight truck loaded, moving and happy. Cargo vans are a dime a dozen, straight trucks are much harder to recruit and keep. If you drive a cargo van (or a Sprinter), you must come to terms with this one simple fact of expediting life.

Completely agree....Cargo Vans are the bottom of the food chain...we are predator bait...

The E-1 decal looks like a kid took a red crayon and drew a big E across your van TJP. lol.

there were three tri state vans parked in the j in davenport ia last friday. the other e-1 van got a load and left when we did. got passed by a tri state semi last nite or was it yesterday day, or maybe it was today, well we got passed by one.
