It amazes me how many companies say they require a van to be 3 skid capacity, but yet, still hire 2 skid capacity vans....lol.. Having a 3 skid van does have so many advantages that those 2 skidders don't have. I do quite a few 3 skid loads, as long as those loads are direct delivery loads. I...

Are you meaning a E150 cargo van? The absolute wrong and too light duty van for any commercial work. As far as rates go, there is no set rate, as many companies have different pay formulas. The rates that you say you are charging..are you a true owner operator, authority in your name, you...

You are aware that a cargo box size has absolutely nothing to do with the vehicles gvw rating, right?... So many try to create a van straight truck, so to speak, expecting straight truck rates, only to show up to a shipper, who is unpleasantly surprised and p.o'd that a van showed up instead of...

Super lightweight and easy to install. Toledo tarpstop in Perrysburg sells these. Excellent people. They show the nosecones on their website. I called the manufacturer in California, ( Nosecone), and agreed there was no advantage buying directly from them. Price was relatively the same. I used...

Just use a small generator to meet your electrical needs. More simple and powerful. Put it on a rear hitch mounted swing arm.

Copy the self- infused gas chamber, ten four...lol

Really no security for freight, nothing a razor blade knife can't stop...as far as the sleeper is concerned, nothing like feeling like a gerbil in a habitrail. Even if I was skinny, I would never own one of these..these are so common now, because of the light empty weight, and the cheap cost...

When I bought my 4- 12' sections of etrack, ( cheapest at a semi trailer dealer/repair shop, like Utility), I wish I would of known about this new type of e-track with the horizontal and vertical slots in it. Buy galvanized etrack.

As good of an idea as that is, I don't think I can lay on the bed in there at night, with numbers glowing at me...lol..but you did give me a good idea, use a router to make the numbers, than fill in those number grooves with blue expoxy...than cover the whole sanded floor with the stuff I...

Yes, you can order a srw cutaway chassis from the factory with a under 10k gvw. These are a over the place.

People and carriers practicing stupidity such as carrying or allowing that much weight are the ones who are going to get us all regulated in one way or another.

Exactly what I was wondering as well.

You have it backwards. He was saying that he can carry 7,500#...so that means if it is a 10,000 gvw van, the van weighs 2,500# empty, right? My Grand Marquis weighs that...lol

A van that can legally carry 7,500#??? You are so full of it! So you are saying that your van weighs 2,500# empty, to give you a 10,000 gvw??? Yea, right!!!

There are so many legally factory built cubes out there that are DRW 10,000 gvw built at the factory. Even now, a knowledgeable commercial salesman will know how to build a new drw van de- rated under 10k gvw. However, there are so many of those multicarrier fleet owners, o/o's, who buy a...

You are married with a 1 year old at home....and you are looking for a female team driver?....recipe for disaster.

I was wondering if things are different in Canada rules and regulations. I know their gvw under the radar limit was less than us in the states, according to a former Canadian driver a few years ago.

The more important information obtained would be the pay. Ask to see actual settlement sheets, etc. Too much B.S. being spread in any truckstop parking lots.

Most companies/carriers do not allow negotiation on rates. Run.

From what you stated, there is not enough profit in it from what you stated the pay is. Stay away from a $printer. Ridiculously expensive to purchase, operate, and maintain, unless you buy a gas model.
