As has been pointed out above my OVM, Load 1 will not except Can Vans at all ANYMORE..As a owner there with 2 units, I can not even add a Cargo Van...Srinters, Sprinter Type or Cubs are it for that segment of the market...We haul too many pieces that are too tall to go into a std CV and believe it or not, in the last 2 weeks, i haven't any loads that a CV could haul...
Now, beyond that, if YOU have done YOUR research on each carrier, YOU will see how each carrier will fit into YOUR Business plan and how YOU want to do business. Yea we can all tell you how we are doing and how much money we are GROSSING, but that doesn't mean a thing, it really doesn't because we aren't you and you aren't any of us..we all work different and have different wants and needs from a carrier, just as you will...The decision on which carrier is best for YOU, is the one that works for YOU, and that is only YOUR decision. All Carriers have good and bad points and no 1 carriers is the best for everyone..they all have "warts" as some here say...the key is finding the 1 carrier that you can live with their warts...Research, and run down to a Truck Stop or 2 close to you and talk to the drivers from the carriers you have in mind....
Bolt is a good company to learn from, and if you are a "quick study", you can also make good money there (there is a recent thread on Bolt in this forum)..As for the other carrier, all i know is what i hear out here from their drivers, and that is they will look for freight all over the place and if can and will have runs with "massive amounts" of Dead Head miles...some paid, most not....Other then that, I can't answer much about them..
But, one more thing, if you can move away from the "Std Cargo Van, your opportunities will greatly expand....
