Yes, I'd go for that as well.May even consider getting a daycab s/t for this as well. I know where there is one with a 28' box on it for sale.

I dunno, a van sure is nicer riding and easier to park
I'd still have both. It worked good back in the day.
No problem OVM.
lets say it would be the same as Panther or FedEx Custom Critical to be fair.

Let me know if and when this happens, I am starting to make phone calls tomarrow to local co's in the area.
I'm not saying Panther or FedEx is doing this, You was asking about the deductions.

I took it as the deductions you are predicting will be inline with them.As far as my previous reply, I have been wanting to investigate local freight in the area and see where it is at as far as the rates/strength of the freight availability.
Oh okay. Just thinking about things I shared with some friends last week about these rates.

Not a problem, it all sounds fair to me.
I think most people would run for these rates. I know our trucks would.

So because sprinter people think they are so special, they should just be on par with vans.
I found that companies that "sell" sprinter services do it for a couple reasons, one is to make their margin a bit fatter and the other is to get the stuff to the customer faster - no logs.
The amazing thing may just be that the carrier (anyone may do) may be telling the owner how they are charging the customer "sprinter rates" while actually getting the load from a load board or partner agreement.
I've did that Kokomo run a few times in the distant past, no tight times in a truck - it isn't an E-1 exclusive customer by the way. I don't know what the big deal is, I picked up and then ran it taking my time. I thought Jenny left?
So Dave, seeing you are coming up with rates, what about cube vans (a.k.a. box vans) which can take more than a sprinter, don't they deserve more money because they can take more than a sprinter?
Sprinters have a one skid advantage but depending on the weight they have with all the crap the driver hauls, they may not be able to take 2500 lbs.
Don't carriers need to confirm weight capacity?
Which one's ask for a weight ticket?

Consider the savings there G if you looked for a company that operated like we used to....
0 deductions; 0 escrow; cell phones; 0 holdback; FJ fuelcard. We used an inexpensive gps mounted in the box for required tracking of loads. Simple, efficient and effective
I never contracted vans, sprinters, or, anything less than 22 ft and 14,000.....Just ain't natural.
