that going to be hard, most companys if you can't go to canada
they won't hire you, maybe instead of driving try sales if you are looking for a change and getting out of the office, here you would be home
most nights and they need more sales people right now than drives
as most companys have more driver than sales people, jsut my 2 cents worth

ARRON,
I AM AN EXPDITE DISPATCHER AND I ALSO WANTED TO GET OUT THERE IN A
CARGO VAN SEE THE WORLD AND GET FROM BEHIND THE DESK.
BUT WHAT I DID WAS I ASKED A COUPLE OF MY DRIVERS IN MY FLEET THAT
I AM REALLY COOL WITH AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE ME
BEHIND THE DESK... BUT I AM STILL THING ABOUT IT.
BUT TO ASNSER YOUR QUESTION....VAN EXPEDITEING IS REALLY GOOD NOW
THER ARE A LOT OF COMPAINES THAT ARE WANT CARGO VAN TO RUN THERE
FREIGHT INSTEAD OF BOX TRKS OR T/T BECASE VAN CAN RUN FASTER THAN
DOT EXPECTS THEM TO AN THEY DONT HAVE TO LOG..I HAD A CUSTOMER CALL
TODAY AND HE WANTED A STRAIT TRK BUT HHE KNEW THAT THE VAN COULD GET
THERE FASTER SO HE ORDERED A 3 CARGO VANS....BUT IF ITS SOME THING
THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO GO FOR IT...JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE
A JOB TO FALL BACK IN CASE YOU DONT LIKE IT......

Hi Aaron, just read your post. i just wanted to say that if you can't find a company to drive for, why not use your present job to supplement your income. get a van or a truck, lease it on with your company, hire a driver and when the good runs come in dispatch them to your driver. but shhhhh ( were not supposed to know that happens )
LOL.

Good Luck.

Where is the van freight really good right now? I am under the impression it is kind of stagnant right now. What company has plenty of van freight? I'm really curious!

Stay safe out there!
