I'd say people are using cube vans because I am seeing lots of them in truck stop parking lots alongside the sprinters. These vans usually do not have the attic but many do have aftermarket wind deflectors. As for their profitability, if you are getting van rates you would be "behind the eight...

There are some places that require hairnets and beardnets (if you are not clean shaved). My favorite bit of "safety equipment" that I have seen is for people in short sleeve shirts where long sleeves are required. Imagine taking a pair of long socks, cutting off the toes, and sticking your...

That is how it is for me. Of course there was the one time I only made it to the 0.8 mile marker.

I have never been in denial but I have been in damississippi. As for expediting Spring 2009 I am also optimistic in general but I am sure a lot of people are suffering now.

One thing I have read about the Dodge vans is that the rear door is not tall enough to accommodate a 4" tall skid.

Maybe its 600 miles round trip.

Some stay out and some come home. Each side has their pluses and both have their downsides. Its up to the individual to pick which best serves their purposes and priorities. One thing to consider ... if your boss counts on you to return promptly so that you are available to serve his...

Maybe its just me but when I see a parking lot full of trucks I think about how they are NOT making money.

E track straps are used for cargo control during transportation usually in an enclosed trailer. Various cargo and equipment can be tied down using e track for the purpose of constraining the cargo in horizontal, vertical, lateral and radial directions. E Track straps control the movement of...

You need to state how you plan to operate before anyone can give you an estimate. What type vehicle do you plan to operate? What type company do you hope to work for? These are just a few of the details that make a big difference in what kind of replies you will receive.

I thought most people leased the QC. If so then it would not be included with the purchase of a vehicle as it would have been returned when they left the carrier. If it was included you would expect the seller to factor it into the price. As for the signage, if it matches the company you...

I believe he is asking if there is any advantage to buying a van that has already been in service with one of the expediting companies. This is, as he stated, often mentioned in the classifieds as an implied benefit. I would think you should just get the best deal you can on a van that meets...

There was a post recently by a lady who claimed to have raised 3 kids in the back of a truck. I believe she was trying to sell a book about her experiences. While this might sound inspirational to some to me its borderline child abuse. It sounds like you are in a tough spot and I wish you...

It is possible to fit three standard pallets in an extended van if you put two of them in "sideways". It makes it a little trickier to get them out but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Speaking of which, about a week ago I delivered in Chicago and had to hand unload 72 boxes...

I have been slower than I would like. Luckily, I put away money when things were busier. I learned that from reading this forum. THANKS EO!!!

The runs you are seeking are out there. I just got back from one. Pickup in Warrenton MO and taken to the FedEx depot near the St Louis airport. Its not really a profit maker for me but it keeps the customers happy so they call back with the long runs next time. To make your business plan...

I thought that was a great analogy. Too bad you left out the customers that want to keep their milk cold on the trip home.

The Midwest and the East are where the factories are mostly located.
