    Most companies are run about the same. I would have to say it’s all a matter of preference and what you like. You may want to contact some of the companies and feel them out, to see how they strike you. As for the sprinter! I know nothing about it. I read a lot of good things on this forum from...

    bnd automotive tk-704hs scf/tk-7scf gasoline

    Today I’m on my third tank of gas using the magic! Half way threw the first tank; I wanted to give Brian a dirt nap (stole this saying from Weave). My van started to act all crazy.

    LOAD BOARDS

    Unfortunately there are no others! Once in a while you may find a LOAD run across the big truck boards, but for the money it isn’t worth it. The shippers are content with using the established companies, and would rather pay the extra money per mile, and know their load will get to it’s...

What I had in mind was to buy a cut a way van with an extended wheelbase or maybe even stretch it to accommodate the length needed. Be it a single or dully...
