    Converting Passenger to Cargo?

    I couldn't open the image, so I can't see the van. But I have seen passenger vans used for expedite in the past with different carriers. I would call around to different companies and ask their recruiter.

    I remember one Super Bowl Sunday, when Bears were playing Indy. I had to run 1000lbs of pizza dough for Domino's from their DC in Bolingbrook, IL to their DC in St. Peters, MO paid real good too! $2.00 @ mile! for a c/v run.

    What did you do during the Blizzard of 2011

    My snowblower crapped out on me, but given the amount of snow we had, it would not have kept up with the amount of snow we had...My buddy who has a plow saved me. Took the snowblower to its doctor (a retired guy who works out of his house in Bridgeview, IL) and he called me today, he needed to...

    Who dat?

    In my travels back in the day, and I came across a fellow expediter most were very friendly and we had pleasant conversations. I guess when you're out there you kind of have to gage the individual to see if they the friendly type or unfriendly and gunshy. Although today while running an...

    Looking for motel discount packages

    CLC works good for me...Yes I will agree they've changed some with their billing rates but its all based on the usage of the card.....They have different programs. I like the fact with CLC there is no exchange of money its billed directly to a credit card. And the rates are consisntent unlike...

    Cargo Van Alternative

    I know its not the most practical to do, but given my situation as I have a fulltime job and am able to work it so I get almost 4 days off before I am back on duty, My runs are generally out and back from the Chicago area, and for now running a cargo van works well. However should my employment...

    Cargo Van Alternative

    I like the feature of a side door like the PacVan set up. In fact when I did outside sales for my one expedite carrier I bumped into a similar looking van in Aurora, IL at a customer but don't recall seeing the side box door. Paul aka Purgoose, I wanna stick with single rear wheels if at all...

    Cargo Van Alternative

    I've been reading the posts from various members regarding the alternative to the Sprinter. I came across Supreme Corp website and saw The "Spartan" cargo box, I like alot! You can get it in 10, 12, 14 feet lengths, they have a side door option and if you go with the 14ft model, take 4ft to...
