    Flat or Van?

    For me, if I wanted to haul Sprinter loads, I would buy a Sprinter or sprinter-type van. The cost of the truck + the cost of the trailer will be more than you could buy the van for. On top of that, any combination of truck and trailer will use more fuel. The $1.50/mile is straight truck pay if...

    What would you do? Makes me sick just thinking about it.

    What do I have to say here to get this thread locked and removed? :D

    Flat or Van?

    Ditto... I dont think you would find much marketability in expedite. You wont get the straight truck loads since your not dock high. I have known a couple guys that did pull the enclosed trailers like your talking about and claimed to do well. They were running hotshot stuff though, not...

    Hazmat's Ford TerraMaxx

    You've done a great job with your TerraMax! I would love to tint my windows, I dont know the legalities from state to state is the only holdup for me. Tinted windows look great and function even better.

    Hello from central TN

    Its a matter of what your looking for. A husband/wife team has options available to them in this industry...in a straight truck...that could likely double any income they will ever find in any kind of van....imo

    Sprinter + MC and DOT #

    probably not...unless the combined gvwr of the sprinter+the trailer is greater than 26,000 lbs. But...the combined gvwr will very likely be over 10,000 which would require logbooks.

    ThinkIng about a change

    Mid-Michigan is a great location for the carriers who do a lot of auto freight and it's at least a decent place for everyone else. With the right carrier, you could get home quite a bit being based where you are. The gross net income is the only place I see a definite flag. I think 60k would be...

    Multi-Carrier, Freight volume, and selling advertisements on your truck/van

    I looked at the advertising stuff when the links were posted. It wasnt enough to get me interested, especially when you consider the fact that it would limit the # of carriers who would sign the truck on with the advertising. But, as pertains to the op's question, I doubt he cares who else...

    My opinion. If dispatch calls me on a load, I assume they have their reasons. Unless there is an obvious oversight or mistake being made, I look at it for my situation only. I just feel that getting into who is closer and how many hours they have compared to mine, etc, etc is just confusing the...

    Ummm, yep....some times an explanation would definitely help a lot, even when you know it won't change the facts. Scott, your on the wrong side of everything?

    Multi-Carrier, Freight volume, and selling advertisements on your truck/van

    Advertising: Many of the carriers pay an extra amount of money to the contractor (truck owner) for displaying to expedite companies' signage. These companies will not be interested. Some of the multiple carrier companies might allow it, but you would just be trading one form of payment for...
