Yes it is possible to work for the big guys
Yes you will need authority there is a box on the ap you check stating you will only operate vehicles under 10,000
so you wont be regulated.
Yes you will still need insurance cargo,liab
would i do it with 1 cargo van NO
the loads con-way sends out for bid are all over.one week you may see 10 loads a day out of your area or you may not see any out of your area for weeks.
now if you ran a straight truck at least you would have a chance at getting some decent ltl if no expedites are available.
but by the time you throw panther,con-way,tri-state together and join the expedite allinance you might have something
the insurance is what would stop me if I had just one cargo van
insurance can run around $500 per month plus a downpayment of around 2k
but the rates they pay you are much better than you get as a contractor for them and that offsets the cost a little.
now if you want to try it I suggest you get to buying some of the older cheap trucks.because insurance will be less on these type trucks
find a few good company drivers and take the van loads as they are offered
