And when your six year old van does start breaking down, and you sell it for real cheap, someone will be buying your headache. eb

Three deliveries today. Ypsilanti first thing then New Hudson, MI to Sandusky, OH to Toledo, OH. eb

Here is something to try to test your commitment to this new venture. Track the locations thread for the current month. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/41838-june-2010-locations.html Find when one of the members is in your area and send them a private message and...

Roanoke, VA to Ypsilanti, MI. Like OVM says, you never know when a bad load is going to improve. I-64, exit 169, W. Virginia, the Exxon was pumping twice as much fuel as was registering on the pump. I confessed, and they let me have it for the pump price anyway. eb

I wouldn't get too hung up on having a formal written business plan, especially considering no one is going to want to see that you have one (unless the state of canada requires it). We're talking about cargo vans here. You aren't trying to convince anyone to invest in your business, unless...

It would be cool if this thing could handle excel spreadsheets. I would carry it everywhere with me. I just made a form in excel that automatically calculates information that I want that is like pulling teeth from dispatch. eb

En route to Best Buy, Harrisonburg, VA. eb

I plan on being gone before Layoutshooter gets here too. eb

It is sort of like the worst of both worlds. Compared to a cargo van you would then have to log and act like a big truck. Compared to a big truck it is well below everyone elses capacity. eb

Baltimore.

assault, murder, rape, robbery, lying, wrong tire pressure...I really would like to see that training program that allows leo to decide how fast a vehicle is going. So much for having to keep the radar calibrated when it's only an issue of opinion. And to think OVM used to be a liberal. eb

OVM, Few days ago you said you had an odd sound from the vehicle that you were going to have looked at. Was this related? eb

Since I'm the owner, the first time I used it I had full return on my investment. I don't have the numbers you're looking for, but don't forget to factor in the cost of not being able to keep a driver in the truck. eb

I just went through the opposite. Found a nail on my visual inspection while fueling, but it really looked like the nail was only in the tread, but I really didn't want to pull it until I was at a safer location to be giving myself a flat. The computer let me keep track of my pressure until I...

Go to the expo. eb

I don't check the van as by-the-book methodically as when I was in a big truck, but I'm still checking the general state of things each time I fuel. Other than belts, any impending failures I've found have been when looking at the vehicle from a far, like when returning to the vehicle. My...

To answer the original question--reality. eb

I say to each their own. The Company can figure out how they want to balance their fleet. If oos is a problem then hire more drivers or don't renew contracts of cherry pickers. Drivers will find the companies that fit their desires, and companies will develop fleets that reflect their goals...

For a start. Try searching--"cargo van" authority. and "cargo van owner". Make sure to include the quotes, otherwise the search engine filters out three letter words. eb

Thursday I was sitting in Michigan thinking my whole week was going to be bouncing around that state. Then a run to south central PA, then back to OH, and now in Baltimore for a Monday morning delivery to Pocomoke City, MD. Think I'll find some beach tomorrow. Hope it wasn't anyone here...
