    Should I go for it?

    Percentages must not mean anything I guess. I had a couple contractors that would NOT run for FIFTY percent of two buks, but WOULD run for SIXTY percent of a buk n a half. I kinda liked it. Regardless, rates/charges SHOULD be really close to the same for all Carriers, so I will suggest...

    One of my worst fears

    Then I guess, you don't have to wonder and worry, anylonger. IF, that is actually the case, you can't have too much invested running a cargo van. Seems strange to me, but, "stuff" happens.
