I've been expediting in a van for several years now and I've decided to get myself a cdl and spend a year or so OTR. I've seen a fair number of expediters on here that have started out with a big carrier so I'm hoping to get some opinions on a good company to sign up with as a trainee. I...

I know there's a few of you out there running teams in a van, mostly couples, and I'm wondering if you see a big difference in load offers. I have a friend that would like to get into expediting and I'm thinking about letting him ride with me for a few months at least so he can decide if it's...

Ok, I'm new to the whole aspect of staying out on the road while Expediting. I've been doing work out of Louisville, KY for a few guys and most of it was for UPS so it payed well enough to dead head back. I just got my first taste of Michigan. I was heading back south from my stop and...

I remember seeing a discussion on here awhile back regarding necessities to take with you on the road but for the life of me I can't seem to find it. I checked the FAQs and tried a few search terms to no avail. I've had a few people ask me about this and while it differs between truck sizes...

I've noticed a few posts regarding cargo van drivers being forced by the carrier to shut down after so many hours. Is this just if they have a cdl? If I'm running for a carrier that doesn't require me to have a cdl do they ever force you to "break" while on the road?

I was wondering what your all's recommendations are for cargo vans. I'm looking at a 2007 E250 Super Duty right now. Being the Super Duty model it's rated to haul just under 2 tons. I would like to find an extended van but I'm just not having any luck finding one in good shape. Anyone else...

Hey everyone, most of you all won't recognize my screen name as I'm a newbie poster but I've been studying up on here for over a year. Most everyone that I've asked questions of have went above and beyond to help me and and it's greatly appreciated. I'll be hitting the road within the next...

I was wondering if anyone knows of any decent carriers that will take on a cargo van that is more than 5 years old. I've been finding some great deals on older cargo vans with really low miles. It would seem to me that they would be more concerned about miles and condition of the van. For...

I went out shopping around for a cargo van today and came across a 2006 Ford E350 Cutaway van with a 14' box and a lift gate. Gross vehicle weight of about 11500 and it is rated to haul over 3800 pounds. They also had a 2007 chevy that was pretty similar. I was wondering what your all's...

I'm getting into the expedited business with a buddy of mine. I've done a lot of research and I'm thinking that my best bet will be to start with a company like Panther then go from there. My question to you learned folks would be what's your opinion on cargo van, sprinter, or straight truck...
