Questions for van and Sprinter operators

[Freightdawg]

I have a few questions for Van and Sprinter folks.
What percentage of your loads are under 1000 lbs?
Between 1000 and 2000 lbs?
Over 2000 lbs?

If you have the capability to hauling 3 pallets, what percentage of your loads are 3 pallets?

Thanks!

I have never kept track of it, but most are under 2000 grand but over 1000...the over 2000 loads happen a few times a month and every once in a while a 3000 to 3200 lb load will find its way into my van.....

June was first month I officially declared my van a three skidder--three tall skids and 2200 lbs. June numbers:
<1000 lbs--21 loads
1000-2000 lbs--4 loads
>2000 lbs--2 loads

no three skids for June.

Half way through July looking to be similar. One 2.5 skid for July.

I'm not counting the stackable loads in my numbers. I had a stack of pallets once, but don't remember how many there were. That probably would have set a record for number of skids.

Just carried a 40 lb box 434 miles to Atlanta, love the gas mileage, but most of the time , 250 lbs up to 3000lbs. It all pays the same, give me the 5 pounders
