    Do cargo vans even have any sort of future in expediting?

    Great thread here... When you say van I think Sprinter. Right now unfortunately I have not got any type of demand for a Sprinter over a van. It is rare where a load comes in over 52" and then you probably have 10 other sprinters sitting right in the 20 mile radius that are willing to work for...

    What companies are taking private for hire cargo van with proper commercial insurance

    Re: What companies are taking private for hire cargo van with proper commercial insur Not many allow that these days and the ones that do can't produce a load in three days out of Detroit (Wednesday-Friday)! Stick with a carrier that hires people who speak English and aren't scared to go to...

    Netherlands Prepares for Self-Driving Trucks Within Five Years

    Sounds dangerous to me, even trains don't drive themselves yet and they have a track to guide them. We are still waiting for Mercedes to develop auto steer, a sprinter that steers it self while on freeway. The driver could and activate or de-activate. Kinda like cruise control only with the...

    Fatigued Driving

    If the load delivers direct and the human body is tired what is one to do, when swapping is no option?! Yelling at yourself works, radio. Every mile is painful.. maybe a 30 min nap would help but I have a hard time waking back up that soon :) I guess getting some caffeine prolly works for most...

    Peterbilt 335 Class 6 OK for EXpediting?

    Yeah here is a class 7 335 with a 315hp engine, kinda pricey for what it is but it's Idaho! Class 6 is more prevalent and less expensive. http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=5143285 I'd say that is plenty of power for a truck that size. I'm no expert but I would say...

    Peterbilt 335 Class 6 OK for EXpediting?

    Use for expedite with 22 box and 72" sleeper. The KW and Peterbilt class 6 and 7 trucks are made just as good as the Class 8 trucks, it's all about how you treat them and maintain them like any other vehicle. Sorry don't have $80k to drop on a volvo with 500,000 miles. :) My range is 25-35k for...

    Peterbilt 335 Class 6 OK for EXpediting?

    I notice a good bit of Peterbilt 335 trucks that are class 6 for sale, I know those are not as good for weight but how much can you haul once you get a sleeper and box on there legally? Class 7 is a option but is harder to find. A VNM 630 with the D11 would be awesome as well but big $

    Exception to the rules... Unpaid miliage

    There is no guarantee when the freight is not on the truck, I'd expect a $50-100 dry run.

    Bolt Custom Trucks - Facebook

    Would be nice to pull this off. Could make a sleeper out of a chopped up sprinter, wanted to take the mid section from a sprinter high roof and weld it to a 14ft or 16ft Sprinter box truck 6 skid capacity 5000lbs. I think I'd exceed the weight allowed and would have to start scaling and logging...
