Hey guys,
We are able to bring on cube vans as long as they are below 10,000 gross vehicle weight rating. I know we have a couple of cubes out there over 10,000 lbs, but we cannot take any more of them on.
Hope this helps.

I have been considering a GMC 3500 15' cube van at 10k GVW or a regular 2002 GMC 2500 extended cargo van. The payload of the cube van I'm looking at is 3250 pounds with a nice 15'x 8' flat cargo area, the cargo van is at 2947 pounds payload with room for 3 skids. Still no decision yet. Any comparison on benefits of each at your company would be helpful.

Another good question, is the CPM the same for a 15' cube van as a regular cargo van? Weight wise the cube cannot carry anymore than a regular cargo van but for lighter loads it can fit 6-8 skids. Anything more than 2 skids puts it into a C unit, is there any benefit for the extra room?. I'll probably be sacrificing 3-5 MPG on a 15' cube over a regular van, so I'm just wondering if the pay helps to compensate for it. Thanks.
