    Pays much better than van and on average I can be tarped and rolling in 45 minutes.

    If you insist on vans definately look at epes in Greensboro I think it is. They seem to have it together.

    I have heard a lot of good about the from other students and I'm always seeing trucks that has drivers years with company on the side and they have a lot of 10-30 year drivers.

    If I was starting van again I'd definately give them a shot but I happen to really like flatbed.
