FYI your front fork was flipped around backwards. Your bars might have been too? other than that I appreciate your review video. Showed me how zippy this thing apparently is
I’m new to the channel. Thank you for my education in this business. I have a question as I am putting together a business plan to start driving. You have said numerous times, the bigger your van, the more money you will make. That makes sense, however, what percentage of loads will you miss if you had the largest Transit van vs the sprinter 170 extended? I’m trying to figure out how much money I can expect to miss out on if I bought the smaller of the 2 vans. I’m inclined to buy the much more expensive sprinter but I don’t want to find that I’m only using 1/2 the cargo space 9 out of 10 loads. I’m about to purchase a new sprinter van, about 65k on the window sticker. I expect to trade every 2-3 years to keep the equipment fresh. I really like your straight forward approach and value your experience. I come from a family of otr drivers and have spent time on the road and I love driving Long distances. Thank you and keep the videos coming. Your company will be the first I apply to.
Its not just about the cargo space, its also about your space for your sleeper, and your belongings. most of the time we haul 2-3 pallets, obviously bigger vans haul bigger loads up to 4 pallets. You dont see me doing it as im an in area where theres not a whole lot of freight but in my 9 yr career so far bigger van is better not just for the freight but so you can live in it comfortably too. If you are ok with sleeping in the front seat then you can buy a shorter van. I also recommend buying used van vs new. In a year you will put on 120-150k miles on it and it will not be worth much weather you sell or trade it in so its best to buy used for 1/2 to 1/3 of the cost of new. In the end its your money and your decision.
Hi man, I need help. If you could contact me that would be great. I have a cargo van, and I been trying to find work but can't find any, so I'm not sure how. I'm in Seattle washington.
