Thanks for the info. I contacted the manufacturer of the truck and they told me the cargo capacity would be 3000 LBS. I can adjust it down to a 2000 LBS load if I need to. Like I said I'm going to be running on my own authority and picking my own loads. I am going to start with this size truck...

Thanks! The weight factor I got from the manufacturer of the truck. it is what they said the cargo capacity would be. As far as the experience, I have been a local courier I/C and didn;t really care for that, but I did enjoy some of the longer trips that I got with small loads, so that's where I...

Hi Folks, I need some info from some of you experienced folks. I live in Alabama and I am interested in running some small loads not over 3000 LBS over sorta a southern states regional thing. I have already found the business but I am a little unsure of what all I need to set up as. I am...

I have been considering going into expediting for the past few years and have a few quick questions that I need answered. I appologize up front if these are silly or have already been asked and answered a thousand times before. 1. I see that most companies require a physical at orientation...

I saw the ad on EO for UPS Expedite. I have not been on here in a while and I t was the first time I had seen it. I saw there that they were hiring everything from cars to tractor trailers. I was wanting to do some more research on all of this, but cannot seem to find any info on the UPS website...

There was a company based out of Atlanta, that was taking on all kind of trucks. I talked with them back in the summer. Fir the life of me I cannot remember the name of the company. They had offices in Atlanta, Birmingham, and Jacksonville (????) I think. They were an advertiser on the EO home...

Thanks - I'll give it a try!

I checked the archives, but did not see anything that matched. I am interested to know if anyone has had any experience in building a sleeper in a cargo van. I am going to get the longest van I can, but do not know how much to allow for sleeper space. What would be the minimum amount of cargo...

I tried to post this yesterday, but it never showed up on the forum, so I am going to try again. Can one of the recruiters tell me if there are any national companies that allow Isuzu type box trucks to be used in OTR expediting. I know that there is no sleeper in them and that seems to be a...

I am planning on signing on with either DTH out of Atlanta or All State out of North Carolina. Would appreciate any information on either one. The reason I am going to go with them is they are located in the South as I live in Alabama. Thanks for your input.

What is the average MPG comparision?

Am going to buy a cargo van and need to know which would be better. Also if you used a diesel in a cargo van could it be allowed to run overnight the same as a big truck? Thanks

I understand what you are saying and I appreciate the info. Could you give me an example or two of the companies you are talking about. Thanks!

Outstanding- I was not aware of that. Would you have to have a CDL licensed driver to pick it up for you?

What is the biggest truck you can run without having air brakes? I want a class B, CDL but do not have a truck to take the test in. I was told I could rent a U- Haul type to use for it, but would not have the air brake endorsement.

Would someone explain to me the different classes of vehicles. I assume a Class A is a 18 wheeler, but I see them on here all the way down to an E. What are all the differences. Thanks!!! Keith

Are there any national companies that will allow you to use an Isuzu type box truck? either a 14, 16, or 22 foot? I know where a great deal is on some, but did not know if it could be used since it did not have a sleeper, but then again neither do some cargo vans! Thanks for your input.

Well after several months of research and weighing the PROS and CONS. I have decided to begin a career in expediting. Now comes the the difficult part of deciding who has the best offer out there. I have decided to drive for an owner for a while to see if i like it before making the plunge into...
