I wasn't saying the sticker is the end all be all. I just wasn't sure if all transits all viable for cargo van expediting (as in "no logs") or not. People keep saying to affix a big sticker on the side of your van to make it obvious to authorities that it weighs under the 10k limit; wasn't sure...

Oh, that kind of gear. So is there a place that weighs you and gives you a cert for the weight? Or the owner just takes it upon himself to create such a sticker for the door? And as far as carriers understanding cargo van freight, you just mean there shouldn't be any big surprises when you pick...

From the thread title, I was hoping this thread would answer my question. But there seems to be debate. I'm in SC (Charlotte metro area) and am looking at starting up with my own van (as in, getting a van in order to start up). Do any major carriers, like BOLT (seems to be a good option from...
