    XLT10, Inc. will be putting drivers in all of them... drivers working for West Michigan Expedite, Inc. It just a simple business decision... we can make far more $$$ by owning them than selling them. Sorry! Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app

    Promasters are 69" high at the door and they are loaded quite often... I have a herd of them so I know... I have a 72" high Ford and only VERY, VERY rarely does it see anything over 60" high, only once over 69"high. Keep in mind that 6 - 35" high containers still fit... even 6 - 65" high...

    I am not finding that in CFR 390 regarding the definition of a CMV anywhere. Can you please tell me the regulation you are looking at? CFR 390 speaks extensively about the weight rating of the vehicle but not about if the actual weight exceeds the ACTUAL weight rating... as far as I can tell...

    You are mixing fruit... that is regarding the driver, not the truck. Logs and a valid medical card are required for HazMat over 1,000 lbs. as well... even if the loaded truck weigh less than 10,001 lbs. BUT the logs are required for only the time the HazMat is on board, just like they would be...

    I had heard a few drivers insist that my trucks would be pulled over just for having 6 wheels (though my 6 wheeler $printer was only pulled over once and the officer fled when I told him the GVW was 9,990) so I asked a MSP captain if 6 wheels was a reason to pull over a van? He looked at me...

    I have studied all of the appropriate regulations at length, including all those you mention, and a lot more... If you believe there is some regulation that you think I've violated, you should state EXACTLY what it is and I will set you straight. There IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE between the over...

    While I cannot be responsible for what has gone on in the industry, I can tell you at the show there were 5 Russians that spent a couple hours around my van trying to figure out how they might be able to either purchase them from me or figure out how they are made and make them themselves. They...

    The first driver has recently purchased a black, short, 1/2 ton Chevy van that he will be trying to expedite in beginning in two weeks... The Promaster cube driver jumped into it and now admits it struggles to get close to 12 MPG... These are the experts you are quoting as informed sources...

    Spot on Turtle! Driver retention is critical... and I really try to build the best vans overall out there. I have thought about building and/or outfitting for others (and even done a few). I have found that efficiency (cost) is best when I can standardize on a design... unfortunately, at least...

    Maybe you did not notice that the bed folds up very quickly to provide plenty of room to change your clothes??? It also provides access to the bins on each side for a personal storage. Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app

    No worries... I just talked to more than a hundred drivers at the Expo that would LOVE TO DRIVE for me (even after seeing my truck's sleeper!) In fact, you are the only one that objected to it. When I make money, my drivers share proportionally... and this truck is going to MAKE MONEY!!! You...

    Photos of the sleeper as requested. The bed folds up quickly the make room to change clothes and such. The curtains and cab separator were custom made by a local upholstery expert that makes them for a yacht manufacturer... very nice.

    I can stand up slightly bent over. You stand up maybe 2% of the time in a truck? As an owner, I'm not going to make the whole truck 6" higher, and 200 lbs heavier, just so the driver can stand straight up a few minutes a day! That might cost as much as 1 MPG... it's just not that important. We...
