With all these vans sitting, and carriers not signing a lot of new van drivers on. How are new van drivers making it at all? Just my worthless opinion but, isn't it cheaper to get a class B and drive a straight truck then investing in a sprinter and not turning a profit for 2 or 3 years if they are even lucky to "make it" that long.
that is not such a bad idea.....LOLGreat day today...2 loads and almost total 700 miles...also got to stop in Toledo at Sprinter Waynes for a fuel filter...I sure screwed the pooch on this one....I totally forgot all about changing it....the sensor dodad was rusted completely to the filter body...good thing Wayne had a spare sensor around.....Getting old...Its a fatal mistake ya know....
But the real question is... Will there be a call back?
no some are investing in a POS crappy 10yr old CV for a couple thou and running the crap out of it...thats how they are doing it...
Murray just attempted a Laredo load....150 some odd trucks within 100 mile of shipper...it went CHEAP!!
at your rate..probably not....
This would load at noon and deliver at 10am tomorrow.. Been a long time since I ran that hard! But 1000 mile load, I'm not packing yet. Don't seem to be able to set the hook on those
1000 miles I would run that at my contracted rate
your contract rate plus fuel is STILL too high lately.....really sad too....

well you are east of the Mississippi!
one the other hand it could be one of your customers asking for a quote and not on a load board....best chance
Nope I was asked if I wanted them to toss out a bid on it.
That's for sure, the bottom feeders are getting fed.
as long as it has been now since the call...I'd say you'd best get out the lawn mower....LOL

Yeah, but how much is a CDL B $1,000? Maybe $3,000 if you go to driving school to learn how to drive the truck. Then they can work for a fleet owner and not have to pay expenses when the truck breaks, and probably make alot more than driving a raggedy van.
