Cargo Van

My Brother wants to get Into Expediting in a Cargo Van! He is In the Process of Buying one But, He doesn't know what all has to be done to it to Qualify at the Companies. The one he is Looking at is a 2006 F-250 and is strictly an Empty Cargo Van without any E-Tracking Or wooden Floors! Could/Would someone please tell me what Has to be Done to it as far as E-Track and Anything else he would have to put into it? Also, This Van Doesn't have Cruise Control and was wondering if anyone would know someone who Installs the After Market Cruise Controls and Approx. Price? Thanx in Advance :D

He should be looking at a 350 instead of a 250.


"...and is strictly an Empty Cargo Van without any E-Tracking Or wooden Floors!"

No wooden floors?!?! No E-track?!?! OMG!


"Could/Would someone please tell me what Has to be Done to it as far as E-Track and Anything else he would have to put into it?"


He'd need to put down a plywood floor, and install E-track.

Also, he might consider things like insulation, a bunk, an Esapr heater, a roof fan vent, battery bank, laptop, lights, refrigerator, microwave, hotplate, generator, and a Jacuzzi. Chicks dig the Jacuzzi.

Ok on the E-Track, I'm Thinkin that 1 Row of E-Track on Each Wall, And 2? On the Floor?
I don't think his wife would Let him Put in a Jacuzzi Lol

Anything Else besides moving upto a F-350?

A dealership can recommend a local place that installs aftermarket cruise - had it done on my van when I bought it.

why isn't your brother going to mats to talk to recruiters? who are you, john smith?

Whats a John Smith?? But No I am Not Him! My Brother didn't go because He found out about Mats too late and Couldn't Go! I told him that I was Going and That I would Ask the Recruiters for Him as long as he told me what he would ask if he went! I Went, Asked the Questions and Had a Real Good Time!
