    Just a general statement about Express-1

    What is with this company's policy of 2 year or newer cargo van and 5 year and newer straight trucks. Do they really think a brand new cargo van is worthless after 2 years? Crunching the numbers, an owner would take a pretty big hit with depreciation every 2 years. For example, a 2004 Chevy...
