Anyone drive for this company or have any knowledge about them?
What do they pay vans?
They are placing ads in southwestern Michigan newspapers.

They are a courier company looking to hire IC's. They only pay one-way trips and no deadheading. Your deadhead miles will add up to about 45% of your total miles. I also think they pay 44%, which is about 45cents a mile. They haul all the loads no one else wants, like tons of copy paper for office max, or empty steel racks for home depot. Do yourself a favor and forget you even saw the ad.

I'll second what Teacel said. Run, don't walk away.

I had a friend work for them in florida. they were sending 60 miles oneway to do a pickup and turn around and go 80 miles back to deliver for about 60.00.

If I were you, I would heed the other's advice about this company and stay away...but I did find a site for them if your interested in reading what they have to say.
