Expediting Forums

Trying this for the first time, hope it helps. I am a rookie out of Louisville, KY. I WANT To sell my big truck and trying to decide to buy a Sprinter and go into this business. If you are an experienced expediter, can you give me some feed back on expediter companies or anything that would help me?

Presently, I make about $125K with my semi but this is gross. Is this feasible with Sprinter Cargo Van, how long would I have to stay out at a time to make this kind of money?

Wheres the best part of the country to live in? I really want some reliable information. Waiting for a reply.

Thread: I have been doing expediting for several years now. If you are a true expediter, it won't matter where you live. You will be doing most of your living out of your vehicle, IF YOU ARE LUCKY.

I make a decent living in my cargo van. I thought about getting a sprinter, but not sure if it will merit the additional purchase cost. This can be a tough business so I suggest you do a lot of homework before taking the leap!

Thread: I made the switch from a semi to a sprinter 2 years ago. I don't make as much money (make about $32,00/yr), but I don't have the hassles of a log book and D.O.T. regulations. If you are going to get a cargo van, make sure you get a full size. Anything smaller and you will be sorry later when you don't get the loads. A lot of dealerships will try to talk you into getting whatever size is in their lot. As far as companies to sign on with...make sure whoever you decide that they are an expediting company that has freight all over. Not one that gets you loaded and then can't get you out of where they sent you. Ask a LOT of questions. Good luck!

Thread: You can live anywhere as long as you are willing to travel and stay out. To make good money you need to be out there hustling at least Monday thru Friday.
