If anyone is interested in running a 10,000 GVWR DRW cube van this might be of interest to you. Any Penske DRW cube trucks model year 2008 and later have a minimum GVWR of 12,300. If this is of concern to you you may want to get in and get a 2007 before they are gone. Rent-A-Center still uses the 10,000 GVWR chassis but the box is only a 12'. Penske and Rent-A-Center have been the primary places to look for good used 10K cubes.

And don't forget if you run to Canada you'll need to scale and log in a 10k truck.

if you go to canada it is from pick up plus a page that covers the previous, i don't know what canada requires, 7 days i guess. you could prolly show out of service if the p-u is near home.
now i don't k now if canada has an hos rule for vans but if they require logging my guess is yes.

It may be "required", but I made a call to the scale house up there ... the only one that might push it is some "newbie" cop that needs a reputation.
The "oldtimers" say they have more important things to do than chase down a cargo van.
But, it IS the law, so your experience might be different!
(I checked this because I was thinking of getting a Sprinter 3500 ..... rated at 9900 pounds)
