    Cargo Van makes a comeback?

    There has been a rather slight uptick in the rates for van loads lately as well, not up where I'd like to see it, but better than it was a couple months ago.

    If you want to go independent...

    Actually that's going well enough for the moment. Things could be busier, but I can't complain. Having reliable and trustworthy drivers makes things easier, and I am fortunate in that regard. Since one of them is an EO member, I'd better not say too much. I wouldn't want his head to get too big.

    A QUESTION or view on other drivers

    And then the problem that those of us who drive diesel vans face. You pull in to get your fuel and of course there aren't any small nozzles at the truck pumps so you go to the front pumps and there are only one or two pumps that have a diesel nozzle. There are half a dozen gasoline pumps open...

    I used it a couple times for add on fuel money when I already had a load on board with enough time on it, but for the most part the people looking to ship things on there don't have much of a clue what it actually costs to move something.
