    is it a crime to bid a higher rate for a load on load board?

    Geo who you running for these days, must have own authority at $2.20 a mile. Looking for a 14-16 2.1 extended if you see any under 250k miles.

    Promaster Volens Curtain-Side Cargo Van Trucks

    I wouldn't sleep in one of these unless it had the roof top window opening like this one. Much better design here by Lamar. Synergy upfit also quoted me $5500 for the sleeper pictured on the promaster and $13500 for the cargo box!

    Saw a transit last week in the east bay on the 580 with one of these boxes. Looked very nice and wasn't too wide. Few inches wider then cab on each side. https://hackneyusa.com/

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Cargo Van Need Advice! Given a Opportunity I believe.

    Looking to get on sylectus / dispatcher

    Better paying loads

    Is it possible in today's market to get .90 to $1 a mile on a extended Transit or Sprinter? 2015+ yr model? I'm assuming a % carrier would be the way to go.

    So they will custom build to your dimensions? Which box manufacturer would be the lightest, best quality while being economical?
