Im looking to pick up a cheap cargo van to be used for construction work. Ive found quite a few decent looking vans locally, but a lot have 150,000+ miles. Sinse you guys drive drive drive, i figured you might have a good opinion. Id prolly get an e250 or chevy 2500 Posted with my Droid EO...

Thanks for the replies from everyone. Like I said previously, I don't forsee myself getting out there and driving. I have been considering buying and van or sprinter, and putting it on with a company. Feel free to PM me if anyone would have some good info/advice on doing so. I've been...

Ebsprintin, When I was 14 or 15 (I'm almost 29 now), I was big into the aggressive inline skating thing. A group of us started some skate group called u.r.b..(sk8er being the skater part).. I'd love to tell you what it stood for, but truth is, I can't remember. My screen name on aol is...

I thought this was a forum for people to talk about things, ask questions, etc. I have looked through old posts,faqs, etc. Lots of great info. But its nice to see if people are doing anything new and different! The last 2 weeks on here, everyone is uptight about answering anything...

Anyone????

I love seeing the sleeper setup's that you guys have in sprinters and cargo vans. I've searched through many posts to only be let down in the number of pictures I have been able to find. I'd love to see you guys post some new pictures of your setups. Maybe include the features you've added...

Another question... Do most of you guys in CV's have a tv? fridge? Do most people in vans run that stuff with an inverter/battery set up? or do most carry a generator?

Would you guys in CV's say that "most" loads are the size of 1 pallet or 2?

More Van/expediting questions! Here's another question....When they offer you a load, do you know how many skids it is, or at least how much room it is going to take up inside your van/sprinter? Would you say you average one skid? or 2?

You still expeditimg??

I would possibly look into buying a van and doing some of this is I could work directly with shippers. Sounds better that way.

Do you guys use load boards to find the shipments close to your homes like that?

Fastrod, so you deadhead back home after everuy delivery? or do you take a load somewhat in the direction of home, THEN dh home?

I'd love to get into it, but I don't think I ever would. I was just curious about it, and was wondering. I love reading about you guys being on the road. I read some trucking(semi) forums also. I've always had a thing for the open road. I guess I get my fix this way.

Hey everyone, quick question, and I know it will varie on a number of things....but I'm looking for a basic answer. I live in Canton, OH. Litterally can hear I-77 when its quiet outside. A lot of expedite companys seem to be in NE Ohio, MI, etc. I also see that a lot of guys stay out 3...
