OK, I was looking into picking up a couple of clas A/B vans to add to my dads D fleet. After looking into it, I notice that the cube vans cost about as much as a normal van.
Looking at the average cube van, I notice that most have 14'x8' boxes, and a lot have the overhang over the cab. They also have doors from the cab, into the box.
Suppose a guy would take one of these, and build a plywood wall 4' back into the box. Insulate it, and fix it up nice, maybe add a sleeper window. You would then have a sleeper, and, yet have a 10'x8' cargo area, enough for 4 pallets. You would also have a much larger sleeper than a lot of the other expediter trucks I have seen.
I am also assuming that the cost to operate a unit like this would be very close to the cost of a normal van.
Anyone see any problems with my logic here?
