    Cargo Van Rates

    I had a guy who drove a cargo van for panther tell me one time in Buffulo that he loaded his van so heavy sometimes that he thought the rear bumper was gonna drag the ground. That's stupid if you ask me.

    A question for FXCC contractors and drivers

    I'm not with fedex but mc is telling the truth you never see cc on the tv like you do the others. A driver can be a company's best or worst salesperson imo.

    Cargo Van Rates

    Turning circle radius

    Any set back front axle will be good. The problem with the T-600 is it has a cramped cab compared to some of the other set backs. Such as the Freightliner Columbia and the Volvo. A cabover would be even I would think for the simple fact you don't have that hood hanging out there.

    Companies that hire drivers?

    all companies have drivers that run for fleet owners. I'm not sure but I would think working as an employee in this biz would be alot different from working as a subcontractor/contractor.
