    D O T numbers

    So far, I have seen vans with all the same markings the same as a s/t, less the ifta sticker.I actually do not think it is required, being under 10,000 gvw.I have also heard that Ohio requires your own dot # on the side of each door, but have not looked into it yet.When I was at Polly, the only...

    Max Acceptable S/T truck age to carriers

    As a few have stated above, if a vehicle is maintained impeccably,age should not be an issue at all.All-State knows how anal I am about maintaining my trucks, to the point of excessive, and welcomed my 2003 van with open arms.I have seen the case several times when an older vehicle will and did...

    what is the word on loads for cargo vans?

    I have to say that I have been blessed above my expectations in a van.Even though the last 2 weeks were a little slower than I am used to, they werent bad,and I still brought home a considerable paycheck.I just wish I would of done the van thing earlier in my life.
