    Cargo Van Need opinions on van replacement

    The companies want us to take on the expense of a sprinter or promaster and transit. but when it comes down to it you can"t make money at .85 cpm. The amount of work you get more than 2 skids is few and far between.

    yes the door opening is 46" but the ceiling height is 52" we take off the lid on the Gaylord box which is about 4.5" the product is sealed in by a plastic film. Again I can't justify the tall sprinter or the price to gain an inch or two. Any thoughts Paulnsteff ????

    Cargo Van Need opinions on van replacement

    Thank you all for your input. 99% of my freight is 50 inches high or less so the height may not be an issue OR I'm just so set in my ways I don't look for big stuff to haul. the maintenance of some of the sprinters scares me.
