There used to be a long bed, 4 door, pick up with a topper running for Express 1.

And thankfully someone has gone back on topic. Hopefully everyone can follow suit, including the moderators. I saw a pickup several years ago and I believe it was a mother and daughter running for Express-1. It could just hold 2 48x48x48 skids and I presume 2500 pounds. No clue what they did for "sleeper" space though.

Roberts had those,they called them A units,didn't last long. I think most slept in the truck bed. I never saw one with a team though. FedEx got rid of them I think,after the buy out.

I had a 2001 F350 4door dually. A conversion shop replaced the rear seat with a beach that converted into a sleeper sofa.
It was very comfy for a solo.

Any beach that isn't closed at night can convert to a sleeper, and it's comfy, but the sand gets into everything, lol.

We've all hired them at one point or another. But we all also ended up regretting it. It's a lose-lose.

Mother and daughter with two dogs also. They were there for a long time I think kind of grandfathered in.

To help the OP, could you do ok in it today ?
Heck, it sounds tough in a decent van, and sometimes a $printer.

What about a local hot shot company? They may be able to utilize your SUV. I don't know any expedite companies that will. If you want expedite then I'd recommend working for an owner. It involves little investment and gives you a chance to learn the business on their dime. Plus you can try out different vehicles to see which is the best fit for you. You may like a straight truck or tractor or you may end up liking driving a sprinter.
