I'm BACK!! Cargo Van Business is struggling!!! 

I'll do my best!

Couldn't agree more! Things are 100% nuts. Thank you!

We are downsizing. Between me and my brother, we own 7 units. I'm not quite sure where it is you, and I have the disconnect. I do appreciate your commenting.

He just salty he ain't getting it like that 😂 STICK WITH US DELIVERY 😂

Thank you!

Hopefully, those who are not able to sustain a profit will know when to park it.

I'm driving my life away

I feel you on the van search! Frustrating the way it is. Appreciate you!

Thank you. I'll see what I can do.

I thank you for that! To you as well.

Absolutely. We can all get through this if we're mindful.

Thank you! Good to be back.

Thank you!

I'm trying to learn every day!!

Each person has to find their sweet spot. For you it's local/regional.

@@EverythingApax for me its local/Regional.. I HATE IT. I love the road.. I need the road..

Thank you!!

Thank you and you're welcome!

Why would you want to get out of a big truck into a van?

@@Invictus13666 me too i wanna know why ..

@@Invictus13666 - I know ya didn't ask me, but having driven both a truck and a cargo van maybe I can help some. With the understanding there's no right or wrong here- that it's personal choice, I would go with a cargo van. Advantages of cargo van: No HOS. There's a set amount of hours you can drive, be in service, etc in a truck. It makes the 200 mile runs not worth it. The reason is you really can't get another run that day because you won't have enough hours. In a cargo van you can take any load that's profitable, and still get another one later that day. Cargo vans also allow you to travel a bit when you're not running. In a truck you're pretty much stuck at a truck stop, rest area, or shipping/receiving docks. Cargo vans also tend to be more comfortable. Even with air suspension, those trucks can mess with your back. The ones I drove jarred me around pretty good. Parking is much easier in a cargo van. There's times when the truck stops are full for the night. So ya have to drive to the next place, and so on. That's not usually a problem with cargo vans. Advantages of truck: You'll probably make more $$. That's not a sure thing, but ya probably will. Trucks can hold a lot more freight. That's obvious, but it means you'll have more chances for loads in a given area. You'll have more space for your belongings in a truck than you will a van. Again, I'm not saying I'm right for everyone. Just for me. I would take a bit less $$ and not have to worry about the HOS. The comfort of the vehicle and the parking are smaller reasons, but the big PITA for me is the HOS.

@@dannyd8625 good points. I was reflexively thinking of only money/freight and wasn’t thinking about the things you mentioned 👍🏽

Where in Ohio? Yes, the vans are crazy priced!

For sure! Hopefully you're doing well.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I'm on it! Thank you!

My guy! Hope all is well. Thank you!

Hello!!

I appreciate that. Thank you.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well during this crazy time.

🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!

I hope not that long, but it would not be a surprise. Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you!

@Everything Apax I've been thinking about expediting but they want waaaay to much money for a van. And rates are in the toilet. Looks like I'm waiting till next year to jump In.

Thank you!

I'm getting through it and confident that I'll see the other side of this. Thank you.

Always! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Thank you. Appreciate the info. Stay strong.

Thank you!

My dude! Thank you.🤜🏼🤛🏼

That's right!! Let's do this!

Thank you!

Much appreciated!

Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you! Glad you tuned in.

Only way I know!! People's livelihood is affected by what I share. Thank you! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Thank you!

🤣🤣 I know, right!? It's criminal how I did all of you! Appreciate you!

Keep grinding! Good luck!

😏 If you know you know! Lol. I truly appreciate everything you said, and I take pride in doing what I can to help.

Absolutely possible. Be mindful of the research process.

As a cargo van driver. I can confirm. My pockets are staying stuffed daily for the last 2 months I've been doing this. Fuq brokies doing jobs less than $1per mile. And the people telling others to do the same.

@light0000 Enlighten us on your situation. I'm sure all of are willing to hear good advice.

Thank you, sir!!

True. Volume and rates are down, so unless you have a very solid plan I'd suggest holding off.

U gave me enough time too say hey is that ! And you were gone.

Much appreciated!!!

I agree, although if someone isn't mindful of the other aspects and tips it can negatively affect the pricing/cost.

Hello, Ohio homie!

I know there is great money in the right situation.

😲😲🤣🤣🤣

Thank you!

I appreciate all of you as well!

Much appreciated!

My pleasure!

😲

Nice! WV - IN here

Thank you.

Why are you bringing religion into this

​@@EverythingApax nice welcome back

What do you mean bring God and religion into it gods is in everything God takes care of his children ye must be born again

I understand but being born again does not attribute to sucrss

I understand 100%. We will see the other side of this. Stay strong!

There is definitely a correlation

I'm happy to know I could offer any help. I hope you both are doing well.

That is the attitude we all need. Thank you.

You ever find it? Apologies for being so behind on my comments

I'm familiar with both. Thank you! How are things going for you?

@@EverythingApax I am working like a animal as a stat courier and occasionally use Miller’s Express sprinter to do shuttles. I got shit canned at my other job. When they cut my pay $1000 a week to bring on board two new drivers they expected me to sit around the house for a call to cover a local route. I just didn’t answer the phone one day and they fired me from the night run. I lost $2k a week plus $400 every other weekend. Now I have to work all night for $1.68 a mile because it’s .94 cents loaded from 7am to 10pm. I still do a few day runs from 4pm on, but try to do majority of miles after 10pm. This far only one $2,100 check and one $1,100.00. About 5 just under a thousand.

I agree. Frustrating times.

How is it working out? Are you using apps/websites or on with a courier company?
