No different than a cube van.

That's my point. Why pay straight truck rates only to put your freight on a cube van?

Do they still do "C" rates? Last I remember, if it was too big for a van it was "straight truck" rate. Can't remember Load One, but C&M was like that.

pretty much they do the rate the customer is willing to pay....but a lot of shippers refuse to pay straight rate and a van shows up...as they now have a 7th or 8th skid ready to go and thought there would be room....in the early days of sprinters and taking 6 skids, I don't have enough fingers to count how many times a shipper sent me away for that reason..

Yes, the idea of telling the customer to find someone else is a thing of the past. Nowadays in expediting, it seems the customer is always right for all the wrong reasons.

But they have the pics posted on EO. Don't think the money isn't there to come up with a copy. They don't call it the Russian mafia for nothing.

I like that someone is thinking outside the box. A lot of great ideas where looked down on when they first came out

I am surprised someone hasn't stretched a Chevy van....maybe someone has?....we stretch everything else these days...

Surprises me that GM had let years go by and not addressed the market. Head in the sand? I heard they were trying to team up with Nissan to make a van with their GMC badge on it. Again, head in the sand.

I know there were a lot of people interested in how this new truck worked out... so I am pleased to say she is working out just like we planned... the driver is getting plenty of work from small to full... at good & excellent rates!

We are continuing to build them as quickly as we can!

Sorry to the few Haters out there...Resized95201708069519221295001.jpg

Looks like too much work for me. Not saying I wouldn't do that load either. Lol.

I don't believe it is dock high, but maybe I'm wrong.
