    Cutaway cargo van vs standard cargo van

    Thanks for the reply everyone. Since my post haste post I've heard if from all sources that this wouldn't be the best business decision. I definitely want to stay away from being governed by the DOT. I'm definitely going back to my van search. I wasn't going to go "all out" at first and just...

    Sprinter, van, straight truck??

    I'm getting into the expedited business with a buddy of mine. I've done a lot of research and I'm thinking that my best bet will be to start with a company like Panther then go from there. My question to you learned folks would be what's your opinion on cargo van, sprinter, or straight truck...
