I don't mean to sound like an arse here but it really is that simple. Just because you want to be an expeditor doesn't mean you get a pass from complying with DOT regulations. Keep in mind, besides hours of service/ELD anything over 10k GVWR has to comply with all the other rules such as operating authority, insurance, driver qualification and more. This is why you see so many Ram Promaster or Sprinter vans, they have under 10k GVWR and can fit a full pallet (light weight) inside. No need for the big cutaway box van when you can only haul 2-3k pounds.[/QUOTE]
