I am starting out renting a van, it seems the way to go for the moment. I was concerned with the MC # and that kind of thing. I plan on doing local anyway. I do have LLC & EIN numbers so that's a start. Thanks

    On jobs sites I've found combining owner operator along with the year of your van and then doing searches for every year before one by one is great for finding opportunities that your van qualifies for.

    You mentioned that you lease a van, is that working out well so far? If you were in the same position again would you lease? I like the idea of leasing something newer to reduce breakdown possibilities. And I don't have any capital to buy outright. Im sure there are specific stipulations, are you qble to add e track or do other mods?
    I'm in old town so I noticed the cap right away! Thanks!

    I think he forgot one.
    Do your research to see if your in a busy market for cargo vans before you go out and purchase a cargo van & expensive insurance .
    Make sure you Can get loads or dedicated routes before you purchase a van & 1 million dollar insurance so you won't regret it. I've seen many people waste a lot of money not doing proper research.
    Just my opinion.
