thank you for all your replies.

I understand that a large percentage of small business people do not make the grade. I also understand that there is a glut of vans out there and a lot don't make it in this business. My question is , where are all the used vans that should be out there. I haven't been able to find many. Or do...

As long as you came out OK, the truck can be replaced, you can"t

And how many times has your freight pulled a gun on you? The taxi drivers can have it, two killed in my area in the last month. Wouldn't do it for $10 a mile.

Thank you very much for your replies, makes me feel much better. I can afford a C/V and if things don't work out I can convert it to a camper, something I couldn't do with a straight truck that I couldn't afford anyway. Again THANK YOU

I talked to a recruiter a couple of days ago and was told that C/V's were dead, soon they would not be around unless they were similar to the tall/long Sprinter. What is the opinion of the people that have C/V's, are they a thing of the past?

Black death has been a problem with Ford's for years. The only way to correct the problem, is to replace the whole system, I guess the problem has come to International now too.

A while back I found a Hot Shot forum mentioned in one of the post on this site. I had it bookmarked but my computer crashed and I lost it and I cannot seem to find it again here, I would appreate someone pointing me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. What did the fish think when he...

RE: Multiple things As an old Bus driver myself, I remember the freighter buses my company ran. They were very similar to the regular bus with 18 passengers and the freight box was part of the bus, not an add on as this unit seems. If they could have afforded more than the three they had...
