    what i really dont like is that some one can go buy a darn cargo van all freight and not have to do logs or follow the laws i say if u put a DOT number on you vehicle what ever it maybe you have to follow DOT rules and regulations. Doesn't matter if you have a company name on the vehicle or not but if the DOT number is on it you gotta do the same as everyone else.

    This is not an accurate statement, some pickup do have sleeper on a stretched frame or have the Woodhouse sleeper inside the truck which is a legal sleeper .

    If the van is 10,000 lbs or less with cargo they don't need DOT or MC to operate, they are legal.

    all I'm saying is if you have a DOT number on your vehicle you should run logs and follow regulations. Those sprinter vans you will hardly see in a coop or getting inspected. If they do I only see the ones that can by pass scales.

    I will never call you ignorant, but your statement is. Wannabe truck driver? If they are running legal and doing the same job as you only on a smaller scale. Yes Uship sucks, 98% of those on there are illegal and I burn them with FMCSA everytime I can ID them.

    See I think that's wrong cuz your hauling freight and if it's good for one all should do the same I'm sorry shouldn't matter if one is heavier or whatever. I've seen cars do far more damage in wrecks then a semi. One reason is a car or van is lighter takes a lot of force to send a semi flying or if it does run off a road it ain't going as far as a light duty vehicle.

    That rule was changed awhile ago, you can now legally "rest" (log off duty) in a commercial vehicle that doesn't have a sleeper.

    And if you have a four door pickup most of their back seats fold down it to a small bed

    Dude, it isn't about the cargo weight, it is the weight ratings of the vehicle and the trailer combined - many 24 foot trailers I've seen are 15k gvwr so if you have a truck with say a 12k gvwr, you are now in cdl territory.
