    Some don't have anything at all on thier vans, nothing! As others take thier numbers off so they don't look like a newbe. I had one team ask me "is that your real number?", they had none.
    The big E shows we drive the paint off...kinda like it.
    And some may want to make their van less conspicuous, because local zoning may not allow them to park their vehicle at their home because of local zoning laws.

    BINGO...

    Also the smaller they are, the easier they are to cover up if and when the need arises.....
    There are people in need of help. Charity is one of the nobler human motivations. The act of reaching into one's own pockets to help a fellow man in need is praiseworthy and laudable. Reaching into someone else's pocket is despicable and worthy of condemnation.

    Re: Tri-state vans

    If your worried about the size of your lettering & Zoning. Move to the Ozarks. You can have a hog farm next to a junk yard (Recycling center) next to a sink hole big enought for Rhode Island, and a nice double wide that was set up on 10 acres when the leaves & bushes were green and they were out of site. NO Zoning, none.

    Socialism:You have two cows. Give one to your neighbor. Communism: You have two cows. Give both to the Goverment, and they may give you some milk. Fascism: You have two cows.You give all the milk to the goverment, and the goverment sells it. Nazism:You have two cows. The goverment shoots you and takes both cows. Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the goverment agent and steal another cow. Capitalism: Sell one cow and buy a Bull.

    Re: Tri-state vans

    If I may return to the original subject of this thread:

    1366 loaded miles (3 loads) since thursday afternoon 3/18(It's now saturday 3/20 at 4:47 P.M.). 165 total deadhead miles. All three loads paid, or are paying, in excess of .80 per mile plus FSC. Currently on the third one, delivering Monday @ 6 A.M. My friend Russell has had aprox. 1,000 loaded miles in the same time period. Sounds to me like whoever is complaining about not getting van loads from Tri State got ahold of some sour grapes or just did not end up in the right place at the right time.
