Dang, you aren't kidding!!!! At first I was going to say just let'em talk whether it is a 4yr old thread......but after reading some of the replies......one expediter is MIA here! Another is in heaven looking down upon us, keeping us safe! But maybe someone got some useful info from a 4yr...

I still have my 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 cargo van. I have mounted in it a sofa sleeper from a conversion van, so I can haul freight or family members. It's only got 224,000 miles. I'm not trucking much anymore and wife wants me to sell van.

Layout, my reference to you and your standards isn't the fact you're a "freight snob"! Don't really care what freight you haul on your truck. It's the fact of standards of politeness regarding others in and around your truck and Mrs. Layout.

You've got standards and live by them. I like that!

Yeah I agree. Bet it will be a sharp looking van. Still bummed that Ford is doing away with the Econoline series. They will be missed. I am a firm believer that competition is a good thing and one should have choices available to them. I was talking with a fedex delivery driver tonight and he...

I hope its soon, I can't wait. I've seen a guy with Try Hours who was chilling at our local Wally World in Joliet, IL off I-80 x130. but left him alone figuring he was sleeping.

Give it time, and I'm sure the design engineers at Nissan will tweek it and come out with an extended version of the NV model.

I've got a '98 Ford CV and the side doors are rusting out. *(They're not original doors) Has anybody ever attempted to replace van doors and if so how big of a project am I looking at, or would it be smart to find the doors in a junk yard and have a friend who does body work do it for me. The...

Dennis, in keeping with the type of sleeping arrangement from the old van but not permanently mounted. Build a platform similar to what you had but when you need the extra space for that fourth pallet, etc, be able to fold the platform forward so the base is facing the rear of the drivers seat...

I bought two sirious radio units, a more expensive model for the wifes, Dodge Charger which is dock is attached to the winshield and antennae is mounted on dashboard by the winshield. At first I too was worried about advertising my electronics, but in early December, house was burlarized and...

Go to your nearest truck stop and pick up a few of those magazines that specialize in truck driver recruiting and make some calls to the different carriers who are looking for drivers!

I'm sure there are some small expedite companies or even air freight forwarders or small time logisitics companies that would put that van on as long as it were in good mechanical condition and passed a DOT inspection. *would make a good back up van when one's primary unit is out of service.

Ran a 1989 Ford C/V and the check engine was constantly on. Took it to several repair shops even the Ford Dealer couldn't diagnose the problem she ran fine 269,000 miles before I traded it in for a 1998 Ford C/V which I'm still running to this day!

I was surfering the net at work last night and googled cargo van sleepers and found a company in South Carolina who does interior modifications for sprinters. he has one for the expediter. Uses up alot of space and gives you plenty of room for a team operation and still enables the van to...

I got an old couch/bed from an friend from his old conversion van and have it mounted in my van behind the driver/passenger seats. when folded to a couch I can hold two pallets. When with one pallet or empty I can fold down the couch and have a decent bed to sleep on, and have storage under...

primary van is a 1997 Dodge B2500, and back up is a 1998 Ford E150. They're paid for and get me from point A to point B.

While driving around the Chicago area, I have seen a company called Fore-Tec Medical. They run ford vans with raised roof and doors. You might want to contact them and find out where they get their van modifications done at!

I agree with MC Buggy. Most shippers with call with the order request give the measurements and weight and don't really care how or with what type of vehicle it's moved in! Now I'm sure there are some shippers who are anal about a specific type of vehicle and the carrier makes every effort to...

Shawn, My Father and I operate a small two Cargo Van Expedite Operation based outside of Chicago,IL. He has a '98 Ford E-150 and I have a '97 Dodge B2500. The ford has 257,000 miles, and the shimmying you refer to could be a bearing problem. I know becasue last week on a trip to...
