Welcome to Expediting 2018. Lmao. We have some good ones in our company, but they are only as good as there weakess one. Since I’ve been solo. I don’t get that many pre-plan loads as when I was a team. Sprinters, I have no clue about pre-plan.
Ok. I can tell you that there is only one negative coming from the truck to the batteries. As you are looking at the batteries it’s coming in on the left. The black thick wire in the pic.
I would say weight the truck and you (and your stuff) and full the fuel tanks. Then whatever your gross weight is minus that and that’s what you can carry. I would leave some wiggly room.
I do go around the I-65 toll into and out of Louisville if it’s not during rush hour.
I do take 20 but only half way out of Cleveland heading West.
Chicago just pay them unless it’s the wee hours on the morning, that place is always a mess.
If it was me. I would want 100% of the fuel surcharges (60/40 assuming you are paying for fuel). 100% of tolls if you are paying them, 100% on hazmat loads.
