Researching Becoming Van (Sprinter, Dodge, Ford) Owner Operator

[mknighten]

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am currently researching becoming a van owner operator expeditor. I’m not really sure which van would be the best. I want maximum load and towing capacity. I would also like 4x4 or AWD. Sprinter vans are really expensive, so I was wondering if other options might be better. I would start hauling only on the weekends due to working a current 50 - 60 hour work week. I would like to eventually quit my current job and expedite full time. What is the best way to acquire a MC # in the state of Mississippi and also a DOT #? I want to eventually be hauling nationwide. Any info on start up processes would be a blessing. Not sure if buying used vs new would be good. Again….thanks for any and all help becoming a newbie to the transport business.

Hi All
I am an owner operator but due to primary work and life constraints my business partner and I can no longer keep our business going. We are selling our Van and MC# as a package deal if possible. Our MC# is seasoned with a year in service. A benefit to buying a clean seasoned MC# is that some brokers or shippers will only deal with MC#’s that are 6 months or older and in some cases a year old or more. It opens up more opportunity having a seasoned MC# as opposed to a brand new one. Our Van is a 2021 Mercedes Sprinter Van 2500 extended with 70k Miles. It is like new and has been very well maintained. It comes with a custom E-Track floor and side wall system with all the equipment, attachments and straps needed to start hauling short loads or over the road loads.
