In regards to private citizens hauling things in their pickup for gas money....I was advised that a few southern states are setting up stings using Uship to catch illegal haulers without DOT or MCC authority. Just something to consider.

WTHR - Indianapolis News and Weather -Two killed in I-65 crash WTHR - Indianapolis News and Weather -Public safety workers killed in I-65 crash Bad week for FedEx (NOT CUSTOM CRITICAL)

I read the headline and thought somebody walked in on a dispatcher meeting.

You might send a PM to Jefferson3000. He used to run one of those E-450 V-10's.

Read the 4th line. : )

If you go with a GM van cutaway chassis with DRW you are only going to have two engine choices. The 6.0L gas and the 6.6L Duramax diesel. Both are good motors. Rev Dave operates this 08 Chevy cube Cargo Vans : 2008 AEROCELL with the 6.0 gas and is getting 15-16 mpg I believe. If you don't...

Supreme makes one with the "Top Hat" option. They extend the roof of the van in an aerodynamic fashion so that it's the same height as the roof of the truck body. This gives you greater fuel economy due to the aerodynamics plus more head room in the cab allowing for a taller pass thru door if...

Dang!!!! What did I miss????

There's nothing better than listening to John Denver's Greatest Hits while driving down the West Virginia Turnpike or on !-40 east of Knoxville.

Gas is great for vans however the original question pertained to a 5500 series chassis.

Some states have Class C CDL's. In Indiana I think they just call it a Chauffeur's license.

You do realize the 10,000 lb magic number is the gross vehicle weight RATING for the vehicle you are using. If your truck is rated 10,001# or higher and you are only hauling an envelope you better have DOT #'s and a DOT medical card. From the sound of your post it sounds like you believe you...

Ford now makes a DRW E-350 cab/chassis with a 10,000 even GVWR. I think they began offering them in model year 2007.

That's good. I liked it!!!!

I have actually hauled more freight to Japanese-owned auto plants than I have for the Big 3. These are my most frequent flyers: Honda-Marysville, OH, Honda-Lincoln, AL, Toyota-Princeton, IN, Toyota- Buffalo, WV, Subaru/Toyota-Lafayette, IN, and Nissan-Smyrna,TN. Quite frankly I would rather...

Especially if you are in Southwest Ohio!!!!

They are a branch of J S Logistics. They have offices in St Louis, Kansas City, Memphis and Indy. Sounds more like a courier company but if you like to be home every night they may be an option. Welcome to JS Logistics

Good point. Thanks for the "insider" information!!!

If it was a 2008 E-Series van it was a 6.0L. If it was a 2008 F-Series truck it was a 6.4L. The 6.4L won't fit in an E-Series so they are using their left over 6.0's in the vans. So I would stick with a gasser.

Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever seen a toll plaza worker that "seemed happy" regardless if they were a guvamet employee or contracted out laborer.
