    is it a crime to bid a higher rate for a load on load board?

    Geo who you running for these days, must have own authority at $2.20 a mile. Looking for a 14-16 2.1 extended if you see any under 250k miles.

    Promaster Volens Curtain-Side Cargo Van Trucks

    I wouldn't sleep in one of these unless it had the roof top window opening like this one. Much better design here by Lamar. Synergy upfit also quoted me $5500 for the sleeper pictured on the promaster and $13500 for the cargo box!

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    It's just personal preference. If I was going to go wider I would just get a straight tuck and do the standard size box.

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Like the other user said narrow for city streets and also everything pretty much keep it like a regular Sprinter just taller and a square box as opposed to curved walls so essentially more cubic ft and use-able space.

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Saw a transit last week in the east bay on the 580 with one of these boxes. Looked very nice and wasn't too wide. Few inches wider then cab on each side. https://hackneyusa.com/

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Well the weight issue would be fine given a cab chassis is 4700 lbs, box is 1000-1200. Roof Sleeper and extra cab I was planning would put it around 7000 giving me 3000 lbs for the load. The main issue is the price, Synergy Upfit quoted $13500 for their lightweight box 14 ft. Plus $5500 on the...

    Cargo Van Need Advice! Given a Opportunity I believe.

    Sprinters are no difference to maintain if you know where to go and do some of your own work. Stay away from the dealership unless purchasing wholesale parts. Promaster is garbage from what I've heard have you seen any with over 500k?

    Looking for Narrow & Long Box for Cargo Van cab chassis.

    Imagine showing up in this with no customer complaints. They wouldn't offer a cab chassis Transit Promaster or Sprinter if that was the case. I need maximum cargo space and have outgrown my 158 wb and need to look at possible options. I like what Volens and Synergy are doing bringing new ideas...

    Better paying loads

    Is it possible in today's market to get .90 to $1 a mile on a extended Transit or Sprinter? 2015+ yr model? I'm assuming a % carrier would be the way to go.
