    Has anyone started in Cargo Van and gone to Straight and been dissappointed?

    The more I think about your question of if anyone had moved to a s/t from a cargo van and being a solo driver I'm not sure I would do it. All the positives I can think about are taken away with the regs of being a solo opp. I think if I were a solo I'd either go TT or sprinter/promaster/gmc with...

    Fla TNPKE

    Last time I was on it I had intended on staying the night and got a load offer after being there for a couple hours. No extra fees if that happens. #hopeforthebest

    Vegas or phoenix?

    I like vegas, but I'm not a van driver and I pretty much just like the fancy lights and food.

    Has anyone started in Cargo Van and gone to Straight and been dissappointed?

    I'm a believer in talking to everyone and see who has the best offer. You never know what may be the best for your situation based only on your assumptions. Also, Expediter Equipment Finance will finance trucks other than what's on their lot and the website isn't necessarily all their...

    Has anyone started in Cargo Van and gone to Straight and been dissappointed?

    We are o/o in a straight truck. You plan on doing this solo or as a team ? I think it makes a big difference. We do really well in a straight truck. Our DH is crazy high but with FedEx we have a little room to add some $ in if it saturates the offer too much. And no forced dispatch so if the...

    I didn't phrase that correctly but you answered my question anyways. Lol. Thank you. We're 11' from axle to back of truck. We are shopping for truck number 2 and leaning towards a volvo tandem axle setup. We are going to look at ari sleepers but also the factory sleeper to compare costs. I want...

    Expediter Services for one truck fleet

    We drive through ES's owner opp program. I'm not sure the fuel discounts are much better. The insurance on the other hand was considerably lower than what I found elsewhere.

    Lol. But don't they just call part of it a 'fee' so it doesn't look like ridiculous interest? I thought that was pretty clever.

    LA Pickup to St Louis...

    My old company used greyhound frequently for items between Houston and Baton Rouge/ New Orleans. I was in live event production work so we moved a lot of road cases and such with very little problem.

    A Lot of New Straight Trucks

    If your buying a volvo all I keep hearing about us how great the d13 (volvo motor) and i-shift auto is (also volvo). Great fuel economy and well built for the many miles you'll put on it. It's what we are looking at as well.

    A Lot of New Straight Trucks

    Funny how no one compares the ride of a volvo truck to that of a volvo car. They are premium nice cars in the US. And the 2 companies are no longer related.

    Volvo vnm vs vnl

    Hello anyone that knows about Volvo trucks. I am looking into buying a new straight truck and Volvo is a brand I'm strongly considering. I'm looking at doing a day cab with an ari or ict sleeper on it. My question is what's the big difference between a vnm and a vnl from Volvo beyond the hood...
