I do love it in a way, and I would make more money even with the lower rates than I would a local class a driving job, at least where I am. Albeit not a lot more. But idk if it's enough more to be having to live in a van weeks at a time, all the extra costs involved with that, and sacrificing a...

I would be all for it but problem is very few carriers that are worth a :censoredsign: will take me on with a van that old. Someone on a promaster forum made a good point, if I get an older one with 100-200k on it, either the issues will have already been fixed or it didn't have the problem. I have a...

Looking to buy a van soon. 3500 long and tall. I know the first few years of both of these had a few notorious problems. If I get something....2018 or newer? Have most of these issues been resolved? If it was you what would be your minimum year? This is a very generic question, obviously my...

I Damn. Wont get that one. I like the champion 2000w one. Is small enough i may be able to just mount it underneath as well. I used to have their larger 4000w one and i remember it lasting and running well even when i wasnt the best at changing the oil on time.

I'm familiar I used to be in a van that had one not sure if it was a different model or not though. With that and another fan on my face I was usually good up to like 78 degrees. But I can't rough it past that. Especially sleeping, I like it cooler. Yeah, as long as it's not really hot, I was...

Let me know how that fan works when you get a run to Laredo in July! Lol I'm going to do the fan and battery thing as well as long as it's 55 to 80 I can probably get by with it. Well see. They also have this new "portable" a.c. unit called zerobreeze. 1100 btus, 150w, so it's not the most...

What I'm leaning toward is swing mount generator on back, extra connecting fuel tank under frame of back, outlet connector plug for running 120v and 30v (I think) plug for the a.c mounted in front of brake lights on side of van. When running the generator, I get out and connect the plugs and...

I was thinking I could get a small flat and wide gas tank that would be mountable to the bottom back of underneath the van, as long as it's done properly, I dont see how that would be anymore risky than the fuel tank already mounted underneath. Mounted on a hitch where it can easily strike...

What would you recommend for the safest way to extend a generators fuel past the half a gallon tank they come with?

Is that used for a generator or just emergency fuel?

Probably like.... 75-85% of all my loads would have fit in a regular cargo van dims & weight wise. People say a lot of shippers will request sprinters specifically. But until someone some one shows me some written proof of a shipper having that requirement, i will continue to believe its a...

How so? The way it was explained to me those quarter panels and similar parts are expensive to replace and when you have a $1000 deductible it's better to just replace yourself so you don't report an accident. So a deer gaurd bolted to the much stronger main frame would be able to take the hit...

Does anyone know of a deer gaurd that also doubles as a hitch so I could mount a generator to the front? If not are there multiple spots on the frame where I could attach a deer gaurd and hitch separately? Or do I have to choose one or the other? I can always get a swing mount for the back...

These quoting a quote who was quoting a quote things are starting to get super long. Yes, tried them, same thing, credit history not long enough. Wish i started getting credit when i was 18 but i was wrapped around this fantasy of "ill just only buy what i can afford to pay for fully" but that...

I just read an article on here about how they shifted their focus to general tractor trailer freight since the van market is so saturated, so yeah not going to waste my time there. Do appreciate the help tho

Thats awesome i hope to follow if your footsteps. Always liked the notion of getting to the point of paying cash up front and not expanding until you can instead of financing everything. Its necessary now tho. Ima go back to that bank and basically as them to reconsider, if they still wont then...

Yeah i have class a with about 4 months exp. Didnt like trucking in tt was going to go back to school but ended up getting in a van where i have about a year or so exp. Im wary of someone not wanting to put me on since its been a while since ive been in one. I was hoping id find someone in my...

Being a young guy doing that for a personal car is a little more understandable id think. Doing it for a business vehicle governed by all these regulations is another.

You need a new career pronto if you compare being a van expediter to being in prison....

Definately will be finding a teammate if i go down that road. Already have hazmat ...waiting on passport. Id get all i could. Twic....dod....etc. would try to get into a temp controlled or tandem if it was possible as well.
