Sprinters.

side q: do these things roll easy? they look so skinny and tall that if you loaded it up it would be top heavy.

 

I know that panther is not taking any vans on right now

 

If anybody is taking them on it's probably because a lot of van owners are quitting because of low freight levels . Google expedite companies and their websites will say what trucks they are hiring . Be prepared to sit a lot though . While a Sprinter will carry more than other vans many Sprinter loads are offered to straight trucks because they haven't got other loads for them .

 

I've never heard of a single one rolling . They almost never load to the roof anyway . They stay under 10,000 lbs. GVW to avoid logging . Like IrunU said in another post , carriers let van drivers run 16 hours at a time with only 5 hour breaks in between . I doubt many are doing that now . More likely , run 10 hours , wait 2 or 3 days to run another 8 to 10 .

 

The logging rule is the 10,001 GVWR, not the actual weight. I am sure that most do not load over, but plate under.

I have seen some of these vans running with 8,000 lbs plates and I know they are over the registered weight.
