When you dance around libelous statements by implying Westmicher is lying just because you haven't personally seen the scale ticket to verify his claims, 7 paragraphs of jibber-jabber from me is what you're going to get, regardless of what you think you need. If you prefer, instead of having a little fun and playing games, I could get real serious real quick. Up to you.
Sometimes there is no sense confusing a few people with the facts?
Just ask Treadmill..your running buddy.... .50 out of El Paso....Myself? 5 skids out of Alabama UPS load .62 .CA again .60 for multiple skids! On the flip side I did get great rates for multiple skids BUT again I also got $1.50 for 10 lb box... You will get what the load pays...It just business..you won't get better then anyone else on the % pay scale.... Hope this vans works better for ya......While I cannot be responsible for what has gone on in the industry, I can tell you at the show there were 5 Russians that spent a couple hours around my van trying to figure out how they might be able to either purchase them from me or figure out how they are made and make them themselves. They made offers but we are exclusive to Load-1 regardless of any potential selling to those ratekillers.... I gave them very little information that they could actually use. It would be almost impossible for someone else to combine all of the engineering, tools, materials, and talent to build these themselves for anything reasonable.Just a few ... i never ask their names ... just ask how their Vans are working out ...
Owner/Operators , Expedite company managers , drivers of vans and Straight truck drivers & owners have come on EO and Facebook and complained about how the Russians /Foreigners and the Yellow Penske cubes have driven the rates down by hauling 5 to 6 skids and undercutting everyone .... well you hauling 5 to 6 skids in your new van is doing the same general thing ... you may get a better rate from John ..but you are doing 2 van loads .. which in turn used to be possibly 2 family incomes .. thats what started the yellow cube craziness ... lets haul 2 van loads ... more work for that cube .. less work for the vans ... kinda the same thing if John would start hauling all his Straight truck loads on his available Semi's ... 2 loads in 1 ... eliminate the Straights right ... make more money on the Semi's ... right ...
You have a nicely designed Transit van and i am sure John will make sure you make good money with it ... but i look at the Big Expeditite picture ... there is an over abundance of Vans out here and vehicles hauling 2 van loads on 1 van and possible overweight and illegally insured is going to increase ... thus hurting the industry as a whole ... again just my opinion ...

I know who the enemy is regarding rates and, without question, it is not Load-1.
My useless opinion is I think you are right. Looking at the profile I think when DOT sees is fly past the scales they may chase.
Thats kinda like the Promaster & Transit & Yellow Cube Haters .. also...
They can, however, cite the driver for not having a log book and medical card, because if it weighs 10,001 pounds or more, regardless of what the weight rating is, it is a CMV. The regs make that very clear. Don't have to argue with anyone about it, all you have to do is read the regulation. Just look up the definition of a CMV.
Also the Driver can be ticketed for Reckless Driving ...
You are mixing fruit... that is regarding the driver, not the truck. Logs and a valid medical card are required for HazMat over 1,000 lbs. as well... even if the loaded truck weigh less than 10,001 lbs.
