I've been running 2012 Ford E350, 5.4L gas engine that is supper reliable. 628K miles and the only rebuild I had to do was the trans. I need a higher backdoor and am wondering how reliable the Nissan's are. The Transits, Promaster, and Mercedes seem to be very costly in repairs and aren't built...

How much does Barrett pay per loaded mile, and do they charge the customer a fuel surcharge? I also wonder if they charge a hazmat charge, inside delivery charge, toll assistance, and an nay deadhead pay to pick up a load afetr certain distance for the current truck location while off duty.. A...

The Transit is unreliable, the Sprinter still has glow plug problems, Dodge,really a Fiat in disguise has a transmission part made of plastic that fails every 30K, and headlights that last one month, so none of these vehicles are as reliable as the 5.4L Ford E 350. So bottom line with these new...

I just to talked an owner of a 2017 Transit. At 4000 miles his engine failed and had to be replaced. Seems like the Transit nightmares never end.

Good luck with the Ford Transits. I talked to an owner of one the first year they came out. At 150,000, his driveshaft and rear failed, the brakes don't last very long, the tires last half as long as his Chevy cargo van did. You guys running 2015's might be in for some big suprises buy the time...

I've talked to owners of the following vans, and all have problems with relatively low mileage for expediting. 1. The Ford Transit: at 150,000 miles: Replaced the driveshaft, the rear, tires and brakes that don't last very long, and transmission problems. 2. The Dodge (Fiat): Headlights that...

I received this jacket from the CEO when I wrote him a letter with an idea I had to standardize the local directions from shippers which had a all different starting points and was chaotic. My idea was to pick out one point in every center, and then ask each shippers to submit direcrtions from...

I'm an cargo van owner and I'm its only driver. I see all the B loads on the load board. Because I do that it doesn't make me an employee. Its my choice if I accept a load, not the company's.

Eventually Custom Critical will be dispatching 100% of their loads including White Glove via the loadboard. For now its Surface Expedited only, all size units. Its first come first serve. If no one selects a load, then they dispatch loads the same as before. That happens when the critical time...

There's B unit freight coming out of Jamaica NY just about daily. You have to IAC qualified to get dispatched on them. Philadelphia is hard to predict for non white glove B loads. One day there can be 3 loads, then 2 days without no offers. If your sitting in PHI you can get offers coming out of...

Since you have your own authority, what are some of the paid subscription laodboards that are good? I would get my own authority, if I could get on some good load boards (not free) where I could find loads that would fit in my cargo van. So to you and anyone reading the post I started, WHAT ARE...

I've logged on to many load boards but very rarely do they have any loads for a 1 ton cargo van. The only one that does is U-Ship. Those loads are bid way down, and never found it worth my while to even bid on them. Do you know of any loadboards that have cargo van loads? They don't even have to...

You didn't mentioned getting my authority. How can start looking for loads without an MC#. You want to be specific about where you find loads? Are you finding loads on load boards? If yes, without authority? Got some names of load boards I don't need my authority?

I'm considering getting my own authority with the 1 ton van I own. I'm already leased to an expediter, but I would like access to expedited load boards to look for my own loads to bid on. If someone here is doing this already, or anyone with experience of having their own authority please advise...

I'd go see a lawyer for damages. Did you have a signed agreement with him, that he could fire you on the spot? If you ever drive for another owner, you should have an agreement you both sign to cover this siuation. Also, you need a credit card that also includes free, emergency transportation to...

So is Landstar Express America hiring cargo vans now? And what size truck is getting the $1.30 per mile?

Flying J is has the worst pumps in the country. Half of them you can't even get a receipt after you fuel up. I would be suprized at anything these cheap crooks do. I try to avoid flying J

Got a question for you- What's the maximum load milage a single Cargo van can go per run (non-haz load)?

I'm with Fedex Custom Critical and although I haven't been in Toledo I usually get out about every 2 or 3 days.
