    I would call the customer and get the facts directly from them. You wouldn't want to commit to something and find out its not what you were expecting afterwards

    $400/day? Is that for truck and driver? I'm not sure that's a good number.

    Sounds like and LTL gig with a straight truck? I don't pull vans but 230 cubic feet sounds a little small for a 53' van
