Do you have your own authority?
Do you have any experience in this industry?
Are you properly insured ( my company requires 2 million in liabilty)
Have you talked with major expedited carriers about "signing on" with them?
Expedited loads do not appear magically to the inexperienced or novices. Your company must have credibility and most importantly contracts.
You are fishing in a swimming pool.
Go to the pay lakes...the expediting companies advertising on this site.

Have you checked with Dispatch to see if there is an area where you could load easily? Dallas has always been a strong market. Give it a day. Good luck, and keep us posted

I don't see that you answered Tom's questions yet so I too am at a shortage of info needed to properly answer your question. If I base my answer simply on the way you asked the question, the following is my answer. You do not just get a van and assume loads are going to come out of the air. I won bigger trucks so I really do not know how well vans do anyway but I do know once they get signed on with a logistics company they tend to do pretty well. The company I lease to no longer takes vans but there are many company that do. They are all on this site and all have kind and helpful people that will speak with you and get you lined up to haul. If you have your own authority hook up with a broker which you can find via asking other drivers, internet search, some of the trucking publications that you can pick up at any truck stop etc. The site that I know of and use will have nothing for a van or I would pass them on to you. If you would like some recommendations and contacts as to where you can on, write me a direct note to my box and I will hook you up. Best of luck. By the way what ever you do make sure you have the proper insurance coverage. That could end up ruining you financially the rest of your life if you do not have and something were to happen.
