Good point. Just want something big enough I don't have to turn down a load after driving hours to pick it up...more worried about expenses, I know nothing about the single rear wheel cubes...anything over 2500 seems to go to the straights at my carrier...
BTW thanks for responses, I had a regular run for 9 years and I'm totally out of the loop for expediting...trying to build out a cheaper Sprinter size to match carriers requirements...
:) For why? The whole attraction of under 10000 is thumbing my nose at the scales on the way by...think DOT would assume it looks like a box van and I need to scale?
Even if a gas van came to 6000 lbs it would leave me plenty to play with at the 9600 gvw...
Wait, you don't mean the Transit based, do you? I have no idea how you guys with big payments do it, tried that 10 years ago, drove a million miles on that van to make it worth it...
17 would be nice! Thanks, this is exactly what I need to know. Right now I'm practicing my restraint, i'm stuck in a natural gas van with very few options to refuel...
I know I'm the only weirdo. Cleaned up, I'm asking what the best type of gas large single rear wheel van is and what I can expect while deadheading for mpg...looking at a 2010 Ford Aerocell but 4.59 gear ratio scares me...
