    Cargo Van Need Advice! Given a Opportunity I believe.

    When I switched from 18 wheeler to my brand new 97 Savana, I was pretty disappointed. I missed all that comfort a big truck can offer you, and I was just about to move back. But when I was passing by the chicken houses, not keeping a log book, and driving as long as it pleases me, I said "screw...

    Cargo Van Need Advice! Given a Opportunity I believe.

    I don't understand GM's stubbornness to stick with their old fashioned Savana/Express model... when they were owning Opel, why they didn't bring Movano over here?

    Cargo Van Need Advice! Given a Opportunity I believe.

    Whenever that purchase will be, I do not recommend the ProMaster... I had three and for all of them I had to change the engine when they reached 200K miles... if a Nissan NV2500 fits your needs, go for it! It's extremely comfy, smooth ride, although not too cheap on gas, but me personally I'd...

    Cargo Van SLC is a good place to wait for freight?

    LOL Not $2, only 1.25... I don't think there's a carrier who pays 2 bucks for a long run... if possible, they would pay even less than 60 cents...

    Cargo Van SLC is a good place to wait for freight?

    Howdy y'all! I delivered this morning in SLC and since this is the very first time when I'm in this area, I have no clue if this is a good spot, or should I hit the road eastwards, where the freight is?

    "Truckers Convoy's" it's been organized in Europe as well. Truckers from the whole Europe were trying to gather in Brussels... not sure if they made it, since the Belgian "authorities" were blocking roads towards the European capital, as well as the Brussels main streets that leads to the...

    Sprinter cargo van load board

    Your friend should be happy for paying only that much... last time when I had insurance from progressive, I was paying over 1000 per month for each vehicle. Also with clean driving record... and while the freight wasn't keeping my trucks busy, the insurance was keeping draining my account. Then...

    GMC vs Ford

    I'd buy an E-350 to put that box on it. Yet, instead of putting a box, I'd rather make the roof taller. So you can get a Sprinter size cargo van, with a very reliable engine and transmission. I had an E-350 and till the day I sold it, when it had over 500K miles, as "major repairs" I replaced...

    Buying a van, wait until after July?

    My advise is to stay away from Promasters, before you'll reach 200K miles they'll start having major problems. I had three, not one, and all of them acted the same way. I don't know much about Transits, but I heartily recommend Nissan NV high top.

    Looking for Sprinter/Cargo van Fleet owners

    I had a driver that "worked" four weeks for me. Basically, she worked two weeks some short runs long enough to be done in maximum three days. Total gross was around $1100. She turned down numerous load offers, took days off, one it was for the stupidest reason I ever heard, I quote "I was just...

    Cargo Van Comdata Fees: Any way to avoid them?

    It seems that each company has its own policy about Comdata usage fees. Some want to make an extra buck for giving you the opportunity to get cash advances, some want to make more than a buck, and some, the few, have no fees at all, except the fees applied by Comdata.

    Please i need advice fast.

    For one thing you should give them a week or two leaving notice. Then the vehicle has to be returned to the place where from you picked it up or wherever is written in the contract.
