There is Star Delivery in Traverse City and Grand Rapids Star Delivery Solutions Grand Rapids is really busy. I'm in Traverse City with a mini-van. Not bad pay. Sometimes long hours.

I just can't get past the Ugly of the Promaster. I saw 3 of them on I-75 north of Flint a couple of weeks ago (testing I'm sure). UGLY!! I like the Ford Transit much better for looks alone. I'm driving a front drive Dodge Minivan now (as a courier) and it's great in the winter even...

Michigan, it's legal to open carry anywhere (other then some gun-free zones). On a public street in any city or town it's OK. Local governments can not make any gun laws in Michigan including Ann Arbor or Detroit.

I'm lucky I guess. I carry a gun on the job. I only go to Michigan or Ohio (99% of the time so far) and my Michigan CPL is good in Ohio as well as a bunch of other states. If I were to get a run to Illinois, New York or one of the few other states that don't take my Michigan Permit, I *may*...

Yeah, they seem to be growing. I'm still not sure it's going to be profitable. On paper it seems to be. They have some routes that a van or box truck are required. The place is called Star Delivery Solutions in Traverse City, MI.

After years of thinking about trying the Driving for money thing, I took the plunge but in a different way. I just signed on with a courier company local to me. They haul everything from Body parts, legal paperwork, computer parts, monkey blood (yeah, you read that right) and everything in...

I know this has been asked before, but what is the typical gas mileage (or fuel mileage) that people get with a C/V loaded vs unloaded? Trying to figure out what the running costs might be.

I believe it was $8900...

I looked at Ryder. Looks like the prices have gone up a bit, but THANKS... I'm still shopping and I will add them to my rotation of sites... This is likely going to happen in the next 2 or 3 months.. SO I have time to find the right van. As for the CDL/HAZMAT... It's my understanding that...

Hmmm.. Maybe I could adjust my budget downward a bit and go for the higher mileage vans... This will be in Northern Michigan so there are some "out of the way" places and I would hate to break down in the middle of nowhere... But I guess that can happen in a new van... What I save on buying one...

I'm looking to buy a used cargo van. Although it won't be used for expediting, I figure you guys/gals would be the best place for me to ask. I will be using this van for weekly round trips of about 500 miles hauling x amount of batteries. (Car, Truck, Boat and aircraft type batteries)...

Glad you are / did have a good time in our fair county! It's a bit warm and busy here for me so we went north to the Soo (Sugar Island) for the weekend. :)

I used to live in Niceville, FL ... It was a nice place... :)

Christmas, MI (In da Yoopee man) Halfway, OR (Halfway from the Idaho line and the Pacific Ocean) Jackpot, NV All I can think of right now.

What about To, Two, Too, 2 ? That is my pet peeve!

Just like all of Northern Michigan, Oscoda is a great place all year around, but much easier to take at 75 degrees :)

I have to say, that is one FUGLY van!

16 degrees and light snow in Traverse City, MI The only problem is the snow is going sideways at 40mph!

I wish I could loose 10lbs a week, but that's another subject. Be safe out there. I'm in my somewhat warm office glad that I'm just a bit too far north for this storm to get me ;)

Cool. Well, if you find yourself in town, let me know. We have a spare bed and a safe place to park. Might even let you use the Kitchen and shower ;)
