In order to keep the load posts 'fresh', the brokers keep re- posting. They are all competing to get the same load covered. And yes, it is a great idea to have an e-fax account & printer on truck. Did it all the time flatbedding as we pulled ALL our loads under own authority.
Interesting. Panther requires 8.5 foot cargo length minimum.
And yes, you can do multiple carriers if you read the contract of either Panther and FedEx. You just cover up their dot/mc info with another sign with your own dot info or other carrier. As an independent contractor you have that...
1)Cargo bay is 10 feet long from rear of the seats to van doors... Not sure what you mean by too short!
2)Multiple vehicle, multiple carrier model.
3) Over 2 years expedite experience; mostly tcu with tractor
4) Starving on a team straight truck already. Can't be much worse than a $210.00 week!
I am transitioning away from big trucks and into the van system. Like many drivers I am hearing from, I too am tired of having to rely on co-drivers who may or may not be committed to this type of work.
Have identified NV 3500 'cargo vans' ( ie, Sprinter-esque van) as a reasonable solution...
