Are you still looking for a dependable driver?

I think window vans are the way to go. They are cheaper to buy than a cargo van. I'm talking used. Exact same heavy duty as a cargo van. People are freight! They are already insulated. Wall to wall carpet. Most have rear air and heat. lights all around inside and 12 volt outlets. Take the seats...

I have been reading a lot on here. I know there is no gauantee of work, I know that. I am sitting here right now in my house, with no job yet today. But if I am sitting, out on the road, for days at a time,why not be as comfortable as can be. I just want to do things a little different than 99.9...

Wow, way too much negativity here. I guess even the guy who did invent the wheel, got some negativity too, but thank god he kept at it!! LOL!! What the hell is the difference if my "sleeper" is on the back of my van, or in the middle??? Semi's have a 53' trailer hooked to them, and they have to...

Thank you for your input. Like I said before, I don't mind the hassle. I have been messing with rv's and campers all my life. I have been delivering to plants, military sites, boeing, etc in my car, without any decals. I just show them my manifest/order sheet, and I go right in. I am sure I will...

Wow, i'm sorry for "spouting" off!! lol!! I am just going by what my brother has been telling me. He has been a truck driver for 35 yrs! And yes, i have been out in my van for weeks at a time. I personally thought it sucked. So I figured if i was going to do it full time, i was gonna make it...

The GVWR of the van is 8,600 lbs, fully loaded, fuel, and passengers. I am gonna find out what the truck weighs empty. The most I will be hauling will be 2,000 lbs. Give or take 500 lbs. Even if the camper weighs 1,600 lbs, which it won't, I will still be well below the 10,001 lbs. So I am not...

How was I gonna lie to the carrier?? They want to know what kind of vehicle I am gonna use to haul their stuff. My cube van! Why would they even care what I am pulling behind my van?? Plus, showers are not free. I tried to get a rewards card at the Pilot to get free showers. They only do it...

I also thought about wheel bearings going bad. The camper has 13" wheels on it. I was going to put 15" wheels, and keep 2 extra hubs just for spares, and put heavy duty tires on it. I was not even thinking about what the carrier would say. Heck, I was not even thinking about telling them. I am...

This is what I am thinking of doing. I am gonna buy a van with a 10 ft box on it. The U-Haul type, with single tires in the back. I can haul decent amount of weight, and then use the truck for whatever I need to when I am at home. Another thing I was thinking about doing was, I am going to get a...

I am new to here. Just wanting to say hi and ask a few questions. I have a been an on call Medical Courier/Expediter here in Charleston SC for the last 2 yrs. I have hauled just about everything. From Blood, Human tissue, Caskets, Mail, Aircraft parts, ETC. My question is, I only have a 2001...
