It's not under 10k even with 6 skids on it. It's built for show.

Two skid capacity for a cargo van,at x $ per mile initially the industry standard.

Then 3 skids same money, now lets see if we can get people to haul 6 skids on a cargo van configuration.

This expedited freight gig is sagging under the weight of its own greed.

Stay safe

Well let me see if I can get Westmich to respond and answer all that. He built it and is very detailed.

That's very cool looking. Looking forward to learning all the details and specs.

What does a "small straight" earn? And would this truck even qualify, seeing as how it won't take 5000 lbs?

We will get better rates for 4-6 skids. I don't know how your carrier deals with you but Load-1 treats us great!!!

4-6 skids WILL pay better! Load-1 is unlike other carriers!

Keep learning & evolving right ...? Looks well thought out. What are the interior dims for the box? Only 1 driver? I would think a team would be a better fit ...

Sleeper looks tight for a team, IMHO. I would go with four skids and a good size sleeper, for a team, and I'd bet one could make some sweet bank with it.
