finding a fleet owner

[lokey]

I want to get into driving a sprinter van but I can't find a fleet owner with an available van. What's the best way to find an available van? I live in northeast Ohio. Thanks

Have you checked EO's classified ads, 'driver wanted'?

Place a free classified.
Look at the classifieds for drivers wanted.
Let recruiters for companies know your looking for a ride.

Think I'll hire myself as a driver and then take me as a money losing proposition and a tax loss...

You have two choices :Find a cargo van driver position or buy a sprinter.

If you don't mind driving a cargo van for a while. I found a good fleet owner by talking to drivers at truckstops and got into a Sprinter driving for someone. I am actually making more money now than when I owned my van.
Or try giving Blair Enterprises a call. I believe there is another thread somewhere in these forums about them.

As others have said, the EO Classifieds are a good place to start. Depending on your level of experience, your chances might be better with the smaller carriers such as Blair and LRT.

In fact, LRT is looking for C/V/Sprtinter O/Os per the below thread:

You might want to give them a call and see if any of their fleet owners needs a driver.
