    5 Sprinter Vans - 2018 Financial Results are In

    What experience exactly do you base this on? Do you think van2017s achievements over the past year are unique? Or even difficult for that matter? Having the capital, how difficult is it to throw 5 vans onto Panther, XPO, wherever ..

    5 Sprinter Vans - 2018 Financial Results are In

    You have solos averaging 166K mi per year? I think that's nutty. I guess you find it somewhat exhilarating. Personally I believe in driving less miles for more $ .... .76 all miles is not good in my book. But like I mentioned, it's probably closer to the norm. Especially when you're looking at...

    5 Sprinter Vans - 2018 Financial Results are In

    .75 all miles doesn't look that great to me. Actually looks sad .. but it's probably close to the norm. You put 834K mi on 5 vans, avg 166K each? I assume you have teams in each, correct? Crap load of miles .. $200K profit, after purchasing the vehicles, is a break even year. Of course...

    Horsecrap ....! In my book, as a business owner I need to get paid accordingly for each and every load .... each and every cost incurred. Ultimately I'm responsible to one team ... the one at home. Reputable business people understand this. There's no reason why you can't have a great working...

    I personally think the difference is even greater .... but let's leave it at that.

    ugly side

    The reality is you have expediters driving for X per mi and expediters driving for X + 25% Same freight, same miles ..... Mind boggling as it is, that's the reality.

    Don't think string alignments are recommended for the '07-'09 NCV3s and beyond. They used a set up that uses lights / lasers. It measures everything down to fractions of an inch and generates a print out once completed. In my experience if you're gonna spend between $70-$100 for an alignment...

    Sylectus

    Not always .... Lots of companies good, bad, legitimate and illegitimate do business on sylectus. I'm not saying it's best to have it as the exclusive source ... but there are good paying loads on there ... there's also crap. But it's not exclusively .... loads are what nobody else thought would...

    Once you file, there's a period of time to submit proof of insurance before it gets approved. But it's probably best to do your homework prior to that point ..

    Cargo Van Commercial Insurance

    CIS - Commercial Insurance Solutions is the insurance company you want to contact. For unlimited radius insurance, that is required for this type of work, Progressive is the ONLY option for vans. I check every year, with Geico .. etc ... no luck. Hate to point out the obvious & I'm just curious...
