They are not all running illegal weight wise or insurance wise. That's why they can be difficult to pin down. Some are leased to legitimate companies.

If anyone can give the names of these mostly fly by night companies running Penske cube vans mainly, it would be greatly appreciated.

You are right. I didn't want to rant too long with that angle as well in the same paragraph at the beginning of the thread. Drivers have the last call with taking it or not. This business is to easy to get into unfortunately.

Turtle, you sure have a high opinion of your opinion. Sorry I "capitalized" incorrectly. I do not think anyone would have stopped reading because of capitalizing the wrong word. Get a life. Or, you can go through these forums highlighting every grammatical error, which should keep you very busy...
