    Would you run for a company if they had this?

    I for one would not even wake up for $.80 a mile. Up that to at least $1.00 and I might think about it.

    Who has it tougher and why?

    25% down and my choice! Sprinter2500 Van, extended, extra tall, with built in sleeper. As said in other comments, This is my choice due to not having to deal with DOT regs. Would not move up to C, D or E units, unless expedite starts doing "oversized loads.
