New to Expediting

Hey everybody. I’m new to expediting. I’ve owned a moving company for 2 years in the state of New Jersey. Because we cross state lines, I had to get my DOT and MC.
I have a few older, smaller Box trucks / Cube vans that I wanted to use to expedite. They can hold up to 4 standard skids. I was wonder will brokers give me loads if my vehicles are :::
2006 Ford E450
GVW: 14,050 (Logs, I know)
Length- 168”
Width- 91”
Height- 84”
Payload- 5,900lbs
Not dock high
3 vehicles with these dimensions

These vehicles are still in great condition and haven’t even cracked 130,000 miles.
We only move houses now so my bigger trucks are pretty occupied.

I have no intentions of leasing on to a company. I already have dispatchers in place. (Not trying to sound cocky)
I already increased my cargo and liability

Should I be running these type of vehicles like a big Sprinter?
And under my own authority, what type of rate can I expect from the brokers?

Any info is valuable. Thanks in advance
I hope I provided enough information.

Expect rates to be .70-.80/mi. to the truck.
